# path_scaling_sections # path_scaling_sections
Given an edge path with the first point at the outline of a shape. This function uses the path to calculate scaling factors and returns all scaled sections. Combined with the `polysections` module, you can create an extrusion with the path as an edge. Given an edge path with the first point at the outline of a shape. This function uses the path to calculate scaling factors and returns all scaled sections in the reversed order of the edge path. Combined with the `polysections` module, you can create an extrusion with the path as an edge.
In order to control scaling factors easily, I suggest using `[x, 0, 0]` as the first point and keeping y = 0 while building the edge path. In order to control scaling factors easily, I suggest using `[x, 0, 0]` as the first point and keeping y = 0 while building the edge path.
You can use any point as the first point of the edge path. Just remember that your edge path radiates from the origin. You can use any point as the first point of the edge path. Just remember that your edge path radiates from the origin.
