In the Diameter box, enter a value to define
the rib post diameter which must be greater than zero. Each non-construction
point within the selected profile's sketch is used as the center point
for the diameter. For example, enter 13mm.
The Taper Angle applies to each rib post.
A non-zero angle results in the post taking the geometric form of a
truncated cone. For example, enter 3deg.
