Hi everyone, hope you are well.  
Really new to this. Trying to do a taper hole and struggling to do so. Whenever I try to extrude through something, it simply makes it a cylinder, not with the taper.  
I attach two images, the cone I made is in blue. I am trying to use it to make the inside a smooth passageway without hinderance of the two pipes coming in from each side. I hope that makes sense.  
Thanks in advance for any assistance.  
Martyn.

You can taper when you extrude.

Thanks very much indeed! I think I was trying to over complicate things.
