Sweep

1. Loft (sweep and blend combined Sweep Creates a solid with different cross sections, multiple paths could be used Creates a solid with uniform cross section Profile Path Introduction to Engineering – E10

2. Sweep Command Removes material as it sweeps Creates a swept solid Introduction to Engineering – E10

3. Path Profile (2D sketch) Sweep Sweep command creates a solid by sweeping a profile along a specified path. A sweep feature requires two sketches; a profile and a path. The two sketches (profile and path) cannot lie on the same plane or be parallel. The path can be either open or closed profile. It could lie on one plane or lie on multiple planes (3D sketch) Introduction to Engineering – E10
