Sweep creates a base, boss, cut, or surface

By Desainer3D 05 Jun, 2011 2 comments

Sweep creates a base, boss, cut, or surface by moving a profile (section) along a path, according to these rules:

The profile must be closed for a base or boss sweep feature; the profile may be open or closed for a surface sweep feature.

The path may be open or closed.

The path may be a set of sketched curves contained in one sketch, a curve, or a set of model edges.

The start point of the path must lie on the plane of the profile.

Neither the section, the path, nor the resulting solid can be self-intersecting.

The guide curve must be coincident with the profile or with a point in the profile sketch.

For cut sweeps only, you can create a solid sweep by moving a tool body along a path.
