This is almost embarrassing for me to ask but is there a way to do variable offsets for surfaces in Wildfire 3.0?

I was trying to create and offset surface from it's original using variable offset dimensions. start at one end with 2mm then on the opposite end 4mm. it's a strap on a shoe. I ended up using the style environment once I offsett the original bounding curves of the surface. Variable section sweep wasn't working for me in this instance. thanks for the advice though, I appreciate it.
