Using iterators to feed a sweep
Hi all,
I’m trying to create an object that I can swap out splines by just dragging in a new hierarchy and have it applied to my sweeps. I’ve attached a sample scene where I’m using reference objects in an expresso tag. It’s working great. I can drag different splines into my “Splines to Sweep” Null, and they get swept. To achieve this, I had to drag in 10 nodes and set them up by changing the ref path for each node. I’m wondering if someone has a better way to do this setup by using either a hierarchy node, or iterator list to avoid setting up individual nodes for each sweep.
Although the current setup works, It would be a lot of work if I had say 50 splines to sweep. I’d appreciate it if you could take a look, and see if the hierarchy node may help. I couldn’t get that to work.
Thanks,
Mike -

I would use a Connect object in a single sweep (with the circle spline) and drop the spline groups into the Connector’s ‘Objects’ slot rather than putting the groups under the connector

Interesting idea Brian, thx.
I would like to be able to control the growth of the individual splines thought.Mike

if you want something other than each spline in the group being swept in order (like it would with that setup) you would definitely need to go with something else – not something I know (or currently remember), hopefully someone does.
