I have a curved spline, that I want to render thickness as a pipe like structure, but I want it to be fatter at one end and thinner at the other. How do I do this as none of the modifiers I have tried are workin for me.

See image.

You should get a copy man. I thought it was heaps complex when I started to use it, but when you know where stuff is its really easy to explore and figure stuff out on your own.

You can use loft and pick a small circle as the shape. Then you can use scale deformation and do all kinds of fun stuff.

You'll probably find alot of things are very similar, its just knowing where the damn things are is the problem!

If youre looking to set up blueprints in max, best way is probably to set up planes and map the images to them.
