Hi Michal,

Please find attached a modified version of your scene (251110_scene_ITOOSOFT.max), where I used the Padding operation to 'split' the spline into sections, made the middle part linear with the Normalize operation, and then combined everything back together. I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Many thanks

You can adjust the Absolute values for the Padding operations. Just keep in mind that for the Start & End and Start/End modes, the values should match just like in the case of Relative values set to 80% and 20%.

Best regards,
