ISO 10303-214:2010(E)
A Directed_taper is an angular deviation from a linear path where the angular deviation is measured from the specified direction.
NOTE 1 This type of taper is primarily applied for drafting reasons.
NOTE 2 Tapers are applied after general end conditions are applied.
The data associated with a Directed_taper are the following:
The angle specifies the Feature_parameter that represents the angle.
An angle between 0 and 90 degrees or between -90 and -180 degrees indicates that the profile grows larger along the reference direction. An angle between 0 and -90 degrees or between 90 and 180 degrees indicates that the profile grows smaller along the reference direction.
See directed_taper to feature_parameter for the application assertion.
The direction specifies the reference direction from which the taper angle is measured.
The direction is defined in the same Cartesian_coordinate_space as the concerned Process_feature_in_solid.
