CigaR007- Although it would be nice to have a thread for template requests, I have to agree with brucepick, it would be more worthwhile if Someone taught us how to do it ourselves.
Thanks for seconding my request.

About your question on degrees... My understanding is that the template is mostly about enabling the modder to build towards the "ideal" taper, which looks to be a carefully designed curve of gradually increasing radius (as you go towards the rear). Since I see it as a curve, I don't follow when modders attempt to interpret it in degrees. The degree of slope changes, depending on what part of the curve you're examining.

If you haven't seen it yet, there's some discussion of the background of the template in this post:

And also here:

I figure there's also a part D, probably can be found in the Project Library.
