Beyond the Basics Create Conical Shapes

    Hi.  I'm wondering if there is any way/feature to create a conical shape?  Specifically what I want to do is create a template for something like a Yeti 30 oz. tumbler so that I could put text on it, and it will stay staight or even create a "skin."   Here's a link to someone doing it in the Silouette Studio Software.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hdxtI2qQ9o&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1AnGYeFi8ZLyFhjnBN8Ode-5TolYuqwo8WeCtkbxW4t2nsj69I5m0CEqA.  If not, I think this would be an awesome future feature.

    Not sure f it´s still compatible with the latest Inkscape version - but here you go: https://inkscape.org/de/~quirxi/★sheet-metal-cone+0

    Yup - just works in my old Inkscape version:

    Do you know, if it is NOT compatible with 1.0, will it corrupt my software or the extension just not work?  Also, do you know where/how it will be listed under Extensions?  Thanks for your help.

    It will just not work - can´t tell for Window/Linux. All info about installation are listed in the link from above. It needs to be installed inside the Inkscape package which is not desired these days - because it will be gone by every update you make on your Inkscape version.

    I´ll get this error in v1.0:

     

     

    In the description Mario Voigt linked to an update he made - if you feel comfortable to exchange that particular Python file. He says the labels won´t match - so it´s still a work in progress.

    Just tried with the updated versions and it doesn't work in Windows 1.0 version.  Thanks for your guidance and suggestions.

    What a pity. All I can do is render it for you if you can give me a brief list of specs.

    Thanks for the offer.  I don't have a particular one, yet.  I was trying to prepare for some possible cup gift ideas for Christmas and was hoping I'd be able to find how to do various sizes in inkscape.
