Taper and array

[JussyAD]

Please advise me on how I can taper this pad so that the top face is smaller than the bottom; an angle of 5 deg would be fine. Also, how can I array the loft cut to the other 3 corners?

Thank you for this. First time I have seen that draft tool in action.

OK, FC can do a polar array of a loft cut!!! Fantastic. Just what I was hoping for
I am impressed with this software

You should not Loft but Pocket.

you can use an irregular octagon that you adjust 4 sides =, the other 4 with another equality
PartDesign does not allow it, but Part yes, you just have to leave 0.000 ... 001mm on the small sides
so you can't make a perfect pyramid
but if you sit on it it will hurt all the same

Thanks Thomas. Sometimes I forget about just using primitive shapes. I will try this method too!
