      Note Using SUmake 2017, Windows

      Ques.Is there a plugin or simpler way to create a object array where the size of the object progressively increases (or decreases) to the end? Maybe have some inputs regarding how much the increase is (10%, 20%, etc.) or maybe set a target end size and let it generate the in between sizes.

      In this example I did a normal array, grouped them and then used Fredoscale:Box Taper.
      This result was okay, but the sides of the cylinders became tapered and I'd like them to stay parallel.

            Hi Rich, Thank you for the prompt reply. Tried the plugin a few times and it looks like it will do the trick.

              I would have suggested Grow too.
              By there is always the manual option, useful if you are working in the web version.
