Part Sweep

Overview
With the tool can sweep from a profile and one or more guide curve (-n), a molded part can be generated.



Profile and guide curve (-n) in each case must be present as a sketch (If necessary, first create the workspace Sketcher).



The molded part can be generated as a surface or solid composite, it is updated according to a change of the parameters of the sketches. The orientation of the sketches influences the outcome.

Use with a guide curve
The command is invoked in the workspace under Part molding - sweeping ... it appears a list with two columns.

The sketch for the profile to be used is in the list selected node / wire, then the right arrow in the selection in the list sweep added.



In the 3D area, the guide curve is selected (for selecting multiple guide curves the shift key use).



This allows the command to be executed - OK.



The molded part produced in this manner is a composite surface, no solid. To produce a solid, either before completing the command in the box below lists the node / wire and sweep switch Generate Solid be set or when the command in the View Properties tab data field Solid the value of false is set to true.
