Re: Extruding a taper.
Loft one segment from a sketch to a point. Mirror that part. Then circular pattern.. to get it to work perfectly to you will have to do some math or setup some variables and use formulas.

Re: Does anyone know how to do this?
Oliver's right. If it's something that my Shapes feature can already handle, then roll with that for convenience. You may want to pair it with my Selection Fillet feature so that you can change the number of waves and not have to manually select new edges if they are created. Here's an example. If you need a different profile, I'd sketch just one pie wedge of the pattern and make the wedge's angle = 365*degree/#number
, then you can make a circular pattern of that either in the sketch or as a circular pattern feature.
Re: How can I query the faces that highlight when I pick a feature?
You could use lastModifyingOperationId(context, query), against every face. It wouldn't be super efficient, but would work.
How can I query the faces that highlight when I pick a feature?
qCreatedyBy() works for things like Extrude and Revolve because those are creating geometry. It doesn't work for things like Move Face and External Thread because those only modify existing geometry. However if I click on a Move Face or External Thread feature in a Part Studio it highlights the relevant faces. Is there a way to query those highlighted faces?
Is there an option to 'Return to the Previous View' (eg, after rotating the view)

Brilliant! That's made my day!
Re: Is there a way to change the colors of the interface (other than dark theme)
Being web based you could probably do some custom css
Also free life tip: don't lead with threatening people with law suits. Especially ones that are just blowing smoke. It makes people not like you from the first impression, which will really hold you back in life.
