Hi jim13,
You are correct, that option is gone.
=========
The set up is based on a circle. So, we have a clean definition of how the scale has to be.
In the Spline interface you can RMC (right-mouse-click) to get to the Spline Presets>Custom…
In this field [formula] you may type in sqrt(1-(x*x)) and use a lot of control points. (In a nutshell, this is a simplfied version of the Sine and Cosine relationship, translated by me for the Spline interface, when one value rises, the other declines, hence the circle result for the Y value, as we get only a linear x for the calculation points. (0-1)/points for the x values—I hope that makes sense in this telegram style.
This gives you a quarter-circle. Yes, it doesn’t look that way as the interface is not square, the Y is squeezed.
This provides you with an option to set all scale steps for half of the bridge, as suggested in the tutorial (hals>Symmetry)
Of course we need only a part of it, as the circle spline was larger then the bridge-element. For that, we use the MoGraph-Selection. Combined with the Plain Effector, we can scale down (-1) the extra clones, or set them invisible, either way…
I have attached the file, have a look, especially the clone distance (to achieve that quarter circle size.
All the best
