tySplines modifiers general suggestion - Tiazz - 01-21-2025

Hello I really like the new spline modifiers.

I would love to have a modifier that let me:

- control the order of the splines for the cross section ordering, so i can easily put a crosssection modifer above and go back to control the order;

- control the "tangent" (i don0t know the exact name) of the splines, I mean if I create a spline spiral and I use the sweep modifier, I cannot control how the "normal" of the spline are facing.

But i guess it's something that makes sense to have in the edit spline modifier..


Thank you in advance

I don't understand the first request.

As for the second request, unfortunately Max splines contain no knot transform/orientation data - only position. An obvious oversight, but probably not something the Max devs were thinking about when they first implemented splines 25+ years ago. tyFlow's internal splines have per-knot transforms, but that data doesn't carry over to the rest of Max.
