# Stroke Width & Width Modes

`Stroke Width` sets the base thickness of the stroke. The `Width Mode` group controls how that thickness changes along the path, from a constant line to tapered, bulged, or custom curve-driven profiles.

Use `Width Control Mode` to choose the width profile, `Width Easing` to smooth simple profiles, and `Width Scope` to decide how the profile maps across paths, trims, or dashes.

## Controls

<details>

<summary>Stroke Width</summary>

#### Stroke Width

`Stroke Width` sets the base thickness of the rendered stroke, measured in pixels.

If `Width Control Mode` is `None (Constant Width)`, this is the stroke's final width before other effects such as `Scene Scale` and repeater width changes are applied.

If a variable width mode is active, `Stroke Width` is the value that the width curve multiplies. For example, a 100 pixel `Stroke Width` with a `Multiplier Start` of 50% and a `Multiplier End` of 25% renders at 50 pixels at the start and 25 pixels at the end.

With `Pen Shape` set to `Sphere (3D)`, the apparent on-screen width is also affected by the active After Effects camera.

<details>

<summary>Scene Scale</summary>

#### Scene Scale

`Scene Scale` enlarges or shrinks the whole Thicc Pro result from the composition center.

Use it when the stroke looks right but needs to be scaled as a complete scene, such as matching a scaled layer, reformatting a composition, or resizing a look without rebuilding width, dash, and repeater settings one by one.

See [Scene Scale](/plugin-everything-docs/controls/width-modes/scene-scale.md) for interactions and edge cases.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://plugin-everything.gitbook.io/plugin-everything-docs/controls/width-modes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
