ShapeBlending
Local
The pipe radius stays constant at the ends and changes more rapidly in the middle.
If the curve is a polycurve of lines and arcs, local blending fits the rail and makes a single surface.
Global
The radius is linearly blended from one end to the other, creating pipes that taper from one radius to the other.
If the curve is a polycurve of lines and arcs, the result is a polysurface with joined surfaces created from the polycurve segments.
