Please follow the format below for requesting a feature.

**The problem that this feature will solve:**  
-This feature is standard in my others cad programs. In parts and mold design, we use it many times in part design.

**Brief description of the outcomes that you expect from this feature:**  
-As an example, in (mold)runners design, sometime i need to add a radius along the edge of a runner but cannot keep the same dimension due to material flow so i start with a 2mm radius at the beginning and a 5mm radius at the end. it can grow or decrease linearly or smoothly.

**What can’t you achieve without this feature?**  
-It’s a useful feature in general design

_Is this a workflow blocker for you? Is this why you can’t use Shapr3D for work? Is this slowing you down?_  
-This is indeed a barrier in design. This force me to use another program just because of that.  
-BUT i like very much where Shapr3D Parametric is now.!!!

I would also like to see this feature included. Every update i check to see if this has been added. It would really transform my creative options. Imagine you wanted to draw a classic snail shell. Currently the radius on a conical spiral can only be as big as what will fit at the small end. A variable radius would allow you to have a radius expanding in proportion to the spiral. Hopefully it can be added soon. Shapr3D on the iPad is my favourite CAD
