Hi Anthony,

here it goes...

-how do you change the length of strands after they have been emitted using the "emit strands" node and "bend strands" node?

  If I use the strand length slider in the emit strands node the strands just get larger and don't increase length wise.

You can adjust the values in the StrandPositions array in the direction you want, or add more values to StrandPositions. It might be a bit tricky if you've got other compounds controlling StrandPositions.
