We've looked at doing it manually by just inputting the values, tying two values together with a proportional relationship and a formula, and even using a multiplier to be able to change the proportion on the fly. In this video, I'd like to introduce a scale factor. And so if we add this one more parameter, then what we're going to really be doing is giving ourselves the ability to control the family in a couple of different ways. We're going to be able to control it proportionally, or by maintaining the proportions and just changing the scale. And doing that quickly with a single parameter. So let's get started here, I'm going to select this sweep that I have here on screen. And it's currently using a rectangular profile and I'm going to change that to this one that I've preloaded here, it's a version of our "Cyma" profile called "Cyma proportion." Now…
