  XPresso Question – Multiple points

  Posted by Tony Barone on February 25, 2015 at 2:17 pm

  I’m trying to figure out an XPresso setup to adjust the length of an object.
  In my attached file, I have an object named “Rail” with a points selection that I would like to somehow link to my Null so that when I move the Null it will adjust the length of the rail.

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Thanks, thats a very interesting solution!
  While waiting for a reply I found another way to do it. I placed a Squash & Stretch Deformer into the object and set the ends before the beveled edges so as to not deform the object as it grows.

  In the process of this, I was hoping to find a way to get multiple points to link to a null for movement. I could see it being helpful in the future.
  I know an XPresso setup to link a single point on a spline, or poly, to another object (null, etc). But not how to do a group of points.
