When enabling the Transform Using Attributes on the Sweep Sop I am able to control Scale with point attributes, but not Twist and Roll. Been testing with simple attribute adds to get something happening but no result. How do I use them properly?

Cheers,

You can place attributes inside an attribute wrangle to control the sweep orientation or other transforms.

That's super, so the @orient is a quaternion, that's what I couldn't figure out. Where do I find that information?

Thanks!

There is some info here on various attributes and their explicit types.

Great, thanks - now stuck on my wall..
Now what If I have a curve instead of a straight line, how would I then control the rotation? I know this begins to sound like a job for the Copy sop, but there's some features in the Sweep I'd really like to use - and otherwise had to rebuild after a copy sop..
