Anonymous

 I have created a spline, turned it to pipe and sculpted it into a shape I like.

 

Now I want set up a parameter to change the over all high and keep it in proportion. 

 

Can Anyone please help, or point me in the way of a good video. 

 

Thanks pauric

I could be wrong but I don't think this is possible. Modifying surface models created from splines is one thing but you are want a driven T-Spline form. All my attempts to do this were unsuccessful.

This depends on how organic the form is. For the piece you pictured above I think I would use the loft tool. That can be parametrically driven. 

 

If you really like the form you already made you could....

Go back into T-Splines and turn off smoothing of your leg so it looks blocky then export that as an .obj file. Then you can upload that obj file in fusion and convert it to a B-Rep and use it to make your cross sections with rails by snapping to points on your original form. It would be a lot of work to setup but would give great results if you want to keep the form you already made.
