How to control radius of copied branches

[anbt]

Hello,

I have scattered some branches along the stem and I would like to control the radius of the base of each branches.

I have no problem controlling the global scale (pscale) along @curveu but this isn’t what I want. I can’t find a way to control the radius parameter (which comes for a sweep node) of my branches independently.

any ideas?

Thank you very much

I mean diameter but the value comes from the radius parameter of the sweep SOP

Not sure what you need without hip example, but you can control scale parent-child dependencies in a simple way.

Thank you, I had found a solution which was to multiply the point of my branches along the normals, and then multiply by curveu.

Just checked you file, very nice way to do this as well. Cool idea to parent pscale
