i need a method of creating a variable offset
(OP)
but different that typical... imagine a half an egg and at the top of the egg is a .5 offset wall thickness. and at the parting line its .75. here is the strange part, at any length of the line from Parting line to top center the wall thickness must remain proportional from .50 to .75. see the oval makes the line different lengths. but the wall spacing must be equal (proportionally along the line). currently we do offsets of each portion of the wave runners and then blend them manually. maybe a grip, or knowledge fusion or something to calculate it which can use the powers build in to NX and less of the designers sweat step by step.
