Hi, I am trying to create a hell like those on lady shoes (stiletto heel). But I don't know how to extrude it like a cone. If somebody is able to make one and to send me a sample file with some explanation it could help...

    You will need to use the loft command (click first on the freeform icon) You need to create a series of workplanes that will describe the 2D cross section of the heel (a minimum of 2 workplanes, one at the top of the heel and one at the bottom) The 2D geometry on each workplane must have the exact same number of verticies. Then you create a matchline between matching points on the workplanes and use the ""loft add"" command to complete the action. I suggest you open the ""loft add"" command and click on the question mark. The help files will provide additional information.

    Great! I had created two workplanes but disn't find how to link them. And if I want to have different faces (like the one of the photo)?

    See the attached pictures. I first create my 3 workplanes as shown with the different sized geometry on each one. Important, there are the same number of vertices on all 3 workplanes as Mike stated before. In the freeform menu, I then selected ""create ml"" and created the matchline (needed to guide the loft). As you can see, I select the front right corner on all workplanes. Once his was done, I lofted it and got the results in the second picture.
