Re: Can you use "conditionals" with variables?
Yes and yes. The syntax for your conditional expression is:
Finally, if you need fancier logic, you can get and set variables in a custom feature.
#x > 10 ? 0.5 * #x : #x<br>Another possibility (without using a custom feature) is something like:
{ 202 : 0.248 in, 204 : 0.491 in, 305 : 0.612 in}[#keyNumber]<br>which if #keyNumberis 202 will evaluate to 0.248 in, etc (what this expression does is define a map from key to length and then does a lookup in this map).Finally, if you need fancier logic, you can get and set variables in a custom feature.

With this custom feature, you can create a spline (or polyline) and sweep by dragging the manipulator triad.

Thanks @ilya_baran for the manipulator advice.
