Hello,
I am converting alot of our blocks into dynamic blocks as time permits and as I need to use them. I am having trouble with a culvert block that I have attached. What I want it to do is be able to insert this block, be able to grip edit the length of culvert, (I have that part working), be able to rotate it, (I have not added that yet), and be able to either grip edit the width of the pipe in the available sizes, or use a lookup table for the different sizes of pipe. The problem I am having is scaling the end section on each end of the pipe. The "base point" of the scale needs to move with the end of the pipe and scale based on the width of the pipe. I have calculated the scales and all of the dimensions of the end section will be close enough if I can just scale it proportionally to the width of the pipe. So for any of you who like a challenge I would appreciate any help. Thanks, :?
