Hi,  I'm new to tinkercad (and 3-D design).  I want to create a wedged cylinder (or what I would call a beveled washer) where the top flat of the cylinder has different heights across the diameter.   I'm not seeing tools that would allow me to do this ... yet I see amazing creations that make me think this is possible.  Can somone point to documentation that would help or offer suggestions to create this?  

Regards, Scott

  Create a tube as the base of the washer

  Create a cone, flip it upside down, and "press" it into the tube. Turn it into an 'eraser'. This will cut the top off the tube in the beveled shape you need.

  If you mean the type of washer that looks like it has curled, use a horizontal cylinder to cut away the top, and then again for the bottom at a 90 degree rotation on the z-axis.

  instead.
