Hi All,

I have a curve, and parametrically I divide the curve up into several pieces by deleting the parts I do not need. So i have now several curve pieces. Now I want for each curve piece a separate skinned piece.

An example would be the crashbarriers around a road. I would want them to be created only in sharp curves.

Any Idea's??

Any reason why you can't just use the sweep sop, on the outputs tab turn on auto skin.

No embrassment, there's a lot in there and they don't always have the same names as other packages.

The first thing I did when learning Houdini was take a look at the help for every sop just to get my head round what was possible, boring but very helpful
