      Good day, I was wondering if it was possible to create a scaling arc! See images below for more details.

      • Scaling Arc, is it possible to make such a thing without having to create it all manually?

      The reason I am asking is because I would like to design some of my own earrings. Here is an example

      Any information the forum can provide me would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read my question,

        What you are seeking is a 'tapered-extrusion' along a path...
        There are several tools to help...
        Look up my Extrusion Tools [zipped] or Fredo's Curviloft tools which do this sort of thing.
        You could also think about Chris Fullmer's ShapeBender tool - there you'd made a cylinder with PushPull, taper it using Scale on an end face, Group it and then bend it around any premade curved path you want... Do some searches on the forums to find relevant threads...
