Spline path "Range" option: how to go from end to start CP?
#4

As I tweak the shape of my spline, moving CPs around, using the path range continues working as expected. Whereas if I have to use the range on the extrusion node, I would have to constantly change the range value as I move CPs.
I see why using CPs is more convenient in your case. You can always use a script to make the Range of the Shape Extrusion be automatically updated, when a spline is modified, so that its updated value matches the changes in the spline. In other words, listen to the spline's OnRefresh event, and with each refresh, set the Range so that it starts at:

yourSpline.TfToDistance(yourCP.Tf) / yourSpline.Length

Wrote this code on top of my head, might have minor mistakes.
Do you see the idea behind what I suggested?

I added this feature in the requested features backlog. Will try to implement it in an upcoming update.

Thank you, happy to see that you are liking the tool.
