Hi, I’m working on an animation that involve a lot of snake like designs and i was wondering; is there a way to make an object that is linked to a b - line grow larger as with the width of the B-line i have tried linking a zoom layer to the b - line width but that didn’t work. I dropped the file below if anyone has any ideas I’m all ears.

Can you draw manually a simple sample of the desired effect?

I’m not sure this is a good example but basically what i want is a way to make part of a layer grow like a b - line by increasing the width while the other end stays the same. I saw something like this in the brushes tutorial, but have not been able to figure it out. the layer i have below is kind of what i want it to look like except a more complex layer such as the barbed wire strands i posted earlier.

I think that this is what you want.
You need to use Link to Bline feature but for the Bline width. Please take a look to the file. Select the paste canvas of the white polygon and try to move the origin of it. It will grow with the BLine’s width.

it won’t let me load the file you posted it says it rejected the value parameter. I’m running windows 7 with version 63.05 if that helps.
Never mind i got to work and yes that’s exactly what i needed, thank you. While i don’t want to be a pest could you help me real quick with one other small problem? I’m trying to make it so that an object can easily switch between following two separate blines through a switch conversion but it crashes every time i try to interact with it. can you tell me what i did wrong?

It is a bug. Please open a bug report and we would try to fix it.
Thanks!
