Q_04:
Hi guys. Got another question.
Today it's not about surfaces and shapes.
It's about proportions and scale. I have this kind of a bended shape. It was bent by "Flow" deformer.
Now it has become necessary to make this shape thinner. But if i use scale operator we lose src proportions of this shape.
I assume that Flow operator may help with it. But i can't understand which surface to use for such case.
I don't have src surfaces that i used for shape bending.
If scale operator can solve this problem i dunno how to use it right?

Hi Bravlin, it's usually best to do such edits on your unbent shape and then do a new Flow with your updated object.

It is possible though to do a kind of "scale from center path" operation with Flow, to do that you would make a Sweep of a line profile:


Along a central rail curve:



That will be the base surface for the flow. Then make a narrower sweep surface using a shorter line along the same rail, that will be the target surface for the Flow. An example result is attached.
