Changing the blend attribute profile

After creating a blend you can change how the attributes (such as transparency, colors or line thickness) change. You might want a regular rate of change or a more pronounced change towards one end or the center.

To change the attribute profile

1. Create the blend - see Blending objects.

2. In the Blend Tool click Attribute profile. This opens the profile dialog box.

3. You either select a predefined profile from the drop-down list or drag the sliders to create a custom profile. The top option in the drop-down list (the straight line) creates a regular rate of change.

When creating a custom profile:

Move the top slider towards:

-1 for more change at the end of the transition than at the start.

+1 for more change at the start.

Move the bottom slider towards:

-1 for more change at the start and end than in the center.

+1 for more change in the center.

Note

The profile dialog box affects all attributes of the objects.
