Hi Pilou,

> (don't want the bottom section follow the Rail Scaling)

Not with a scaling rail - it works by applying a scale transformation on the profiles, which does not easily allow for that kind of a "partial" scale in a general way.

But if I understand you correctly, you can get that kind of a shape by using a 2-rail sweep instead of using a scaling rail.

That would be a profile and rails like this:



Then when you do the sweep, select both of those as sweep rails at the rail selection prompt, instead of picking one as a scaling rail later. With both of those as sweep rails, the profiles will slide along the 2 rails which gives this kind of a result:

yes but as my first volume is a 2 rails sweep (so Horizontal asymmetric side) maybe I can make that if the Rail Scale don't make half section
(not so a big deal :)

Hi Pilou, also when you start wanting to get a lot of control in many different areas like this, you may want to switch to the Network command instead. There you can add in a larger number of profiles.

But also it looks like assembling your object in halves works for your case too?

yes assembling works fine!
I was afraid that horizontal section shoud be different after the rail scaling but all works fine :)
