I need to create a variable blend starting with a radius of 5mm to a center radius of 13mm down to 5mm again. I have attached the sfx file and a screenshot. NOTE: NOT ABLE TO UPLOAD the SFX or ZIP file!! NOTE2: I was able to understood the "by position" function. However others are quite difficult to understand. Is there any complete tutorial about all the blend functions?

Anyway I resolved the variable blend, it was not not soo easy to understand how this works and you need to select all edges with "shift" and then place the points with the different radius values. Funny was that with a radius >10mm, shelling was not working, <10mm shelling was working.
