Trying to use Polywire SOP with a line and a Carve SOP so that the radius of the line is different along its length.

However any changes to the Wire Radius in Polywire always affect the entire line length.
Is there any way to accomplish this?

Polywire SOP is one of the nodes that still take local variables
so you can use @width/2 or @pscale or @mycustomradiusattrib in the Wire Radius Parameter

EDIT: of course assuming you have such point attribute on the input curves

In case anyone is unfamiliar with how to do that, here's an example using a ramp:



Point wrangle:

float ramp_position = fit(float(@ptnum), 0, @numpt, 0, 1);
f@width = chramp('Sweep_Profile', ramp_position);
