By selecting two stringers and choosing the “Generate Family…” command from the stringers menu you can generate a series of smoothly transitioning stringers between the two ‘parent’ stringers:

 View a video showing how to generate a family of stringers between two parent stringers.

Ø        Select the first parent stringer

Ø        Hold the shift or ctrl key down and select the second parent stringer

Ø        Select Stringers | Generate Family ..

When the command is invoked a dialog box will appear asking you how many stringers you would like to generate.  This is the number of stringers that will be created between the two ‘parent’ stringers.  ‘Child’ stringers will inherit the properties of the first of the parent stringers selected including shape, cutout, color, flexibility and orientation.

The command will only be enabled when two stringers are selected.  The command does not work with two parent stringers that have stringer points with different projection directions.  In this instance a dialog box will appear notifying you of this error.

Generating a family of stringers across multiple surfaces is possible.
