Check into the feature "Multi-Sections Solid"

I don't get the full picture here, you want to pad along the surface while the section decreases? the whole section? in both dimension?

If the whole section is changing then use loft or multi-section solid as I believe it is called now but you need a section on the receiving end.

If the section change is related to a draft then pad the section you have, check the options, think there is a way to merge it in one shot with the main solid, and then use the draft function.

I'm not a V5 station now so I haven't had a chance to test my theories but hopefully it will point you in the right direction
