For doing Satellite towers with patterns that taper vertically, it would be great to be able to scale the direction array.

Unless there is some way of doing this I'm not aware of already.

Hi,
try this script

That's not quite it.

What I'm describing is a repeating pattern where the bounding box of each object is scaled at an increasing rate, with an option to keep the objects connected, creating a taper.

Its similar to the Scaling Rail for the Sweep Tool, except using it for the Array Tool with a Direction.

Think the Eiffel tower, its basically a tapered copy of an object along a curve.

Hi TwinSnakes, it would probably be helpful if you could post a sample result to get a better idea on what result you're trying to do and which types of inputs you are looking to use to construct it.

But one idea is that if you want something that works the same as the Scaling Rail for Sweep, that you could initially build an object using Sweep with a scaling rail, and then extract your output curves from that surface either by using Construct > Curve > Isoparm, or by taking planar section lines by setting up an array of lines and using Construct > Curve > Project to project them onto the sweep object.
