Loft/Sweep in 2 directions?? autodesk help please

Posted · Loft/Sweep in 2 directions?? autodesk help please

Hello, I need to model a part, in Autodesk Inventor, for (somewhat of) an assessment so I want to make sure I have the most efficient, neatest method in doing so. I know a few different ways, but I think using sweep or lost would probably be the cleanest way of doing. I have attached a drawing (I have the Parasolid model). I'm thinking about extruding the inside base, then extruding the tapered walls up. The outside wall surface comes in at 1 degree, but the inside wall surface stays perpendicular to the bottom plane. I want to be able to sweep or loft without having to do trig (based on 1 degree and the height) and make a new sketch at the top height. There's got to be someway to sweep the bottom rectangular profile up by just using paths and guide sketches/surfaces, right?? I'm sorry if this is confusing but any help would be appreciated. Thank you

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
