    <description>&lt;P&gt;I need to find a way, how to make a path that are design by the uses with one&amp;nbsp;flexible dimension&amp;nbsp; that are control by a total length.. want I have made so far is a content center part .. with have a sweep profil of a chain, add the chain length that the use type , selectee the chain .. and the profil change after the chian the uses selecte og add descriptin, custom vaule for chian length round down&amp;nbsp; so it fit with what the chain can be. and add the raw material number of the chain .. and we use this to make our system to tell how much chian we need to buy..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;my problem now is that the uses need to make the chian as he want it to be and then remember to chance the length of the chain (3d model ) to the length that this chain can be.. I want this to happe automatic..&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;simple put .. how can I make a sweep path that are lock by a total loop length ?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;In 2019 Autodesk introduced an ability for the Pipe system to maintain a certain length, and recalculate a different path for flexible pipe.&amp;nbsp; This may be the first of its kind to do precisely what you asked.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;For standard sweeps, you can extract the sweep length via code.&amp;nbsp; Then use that sweep length to have the user alter the object, or attempt to automatically alter the object.&amp;nbsp; Being that a sweep path is usually a compilation of different curves, it would be difficult to say 'where' to remove or add more length, without carefully modeling segments that are ridged and segments that are flexible where needed, and labeling which is which (maybe by linetype or color or something simple).&amp;nbsp; Then you could write a program that reads the sweep length compares to the nearest marketable chain length, and stretches or shrinks the flexible segments evenly to meet the overall desired length.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
