Separate controls for start and end of pipe

Artaq

The ability for a user to generate a pipe with different section size, thickness, and angle on both the start and end of a pipe operation. This would allow greater user control, and expanded possibilities using the pipe tool.

Yes, this would be very welcome. Preferably with different interpolation options (like curved or linear), maybe even a different radius per curve control point.

Or allow a "target" shape for the "sweep" command.

I agree - Pipe is used very often in surface modeling to manually create fillets (by creating a smooth gap and then lofting the gap closed G2). A control to taper the ends would allow a variable size gap which can give a better visual result. Also see the Feature Request to extend the pipe ends to eliminate slivers when pipe is Boolean Diff on sheets.

I was just about to request a feature to taper the ends of a pipe for etching work and detailed surfaces, but this is exactly what I'm looking for.
