Hi Michael,
I was working with a similar idea yesterday...:-)
You can get some interesting variations depending on the shape of the scale rail
and where it's placed.
I noticed something that I thought you should know about...
it could be a bug or just the way sweeps work with the scaling rail,
but it could be an issue if you wanted to put more than one profile on a ring.
which is often the case when designing for actual production.
It works great if the profile curve isn't touching the drive rail.
If it touches the quad point, it sweeps only half the circle with the scaling rail.
I don't have the last beta to make a comparison, but it seems like
with the addition of the scaling rail option, sweeps take longer,
even if you're doing a regular sweep without the scaling rail.
Am I only imagining this?
Jesse
