This allows control over the start and end rotations of each pipe (`startRotations` and `endRotations` inputs), as well as the radii at the end and start of each pipe, by specifying the `startRadii` and `endRadii`. Finally, the `startPositions` and `endPositions` allow offset of the segments at the start or the end of each curve respectively. This input expects a value corresponding to the parameter of the curve where the segments start or end (values between 0 and 1). ## Example File ![Example](./M3VFMWB2QNLX6WXZAGO7A2KLFVYNTV3P6QYWKGHMXCJ2TEDO3KZQ_img.gif) \ No newline at end of file
