Hello
I'm trying to set up an incremented X distance along a spline, but having no luck. The part I can't set up is adding an increment value in a cumulative way along the X direction. What I want is for a distance between segments to increase every N length along the X direction where the distance would be x=x+N, and form an exponential increase. The attached image shows a gradient increase distance between lines (if that helps explain). If someone could tell me how this translates to an expression I would appreciate it. I thought it would be something like ....return Input1=((Input1+Input2)*XSplinePosition).... but that's the wrong syntax. I don't know if this should be piped into an X translation operator, the Evenly Distance Parameter, or something else
Cheers

can You draw Your segments and spaces between?
In ilustration i see different segments stacked one after the other without any distance between them.

Sorry the image attached was just to illustrate the gradient increase between a line or segment. The new attached image explains it better. The posts have the distance between them incremented by 100mm each time.

Thanks for clarification. I attach You such RailClone style

Hey Rokas
That's exactly what I was after. I see you used the Right Padding with the expression. I was going down the wrong path trying to alter the Evenly Distance.
Thanks so much for your time with this. I was actually wanting to generate a gradient blade screen for a building facade. Attached is your file with the segment made thinner for example.
Thanks again
