MultiProfile Sweep

 
KeyCreator Pro Create Solid Sweep Multiprofile

 

Use the Multi-Profile Sweep to create a solid, (use Make Solid) or a surface, using a set of  profiles and a sweep path. The resulting swept profile will either have its profile 'normal' follow parallel to the selected path, (Profile Orientation= Rotate) or have a more rigid translation as the profiles are used to create the solid/surface along the selected path, (Profile Orientation= Translate). You can view sample sweeps in the Swept Solid topic.

Using the Function:
  1. Select Multi-Profile Sweep from the Create>Swept Solid submenu.

  2. The Create Multi-Profile Sweep dialog appears. Configure the dialog settings to fit your design needs and select OK.

  3. Select the profiles to sweep, Accept/OK, and Select the Path Curves, ACCEPT/OK.

Dialog Options:

The following settings are contained in the Multi-Profile Sweep Options dialog
KeyCreator Pro Create Solid Sweep Multiprofile options

Make Solid:

Check this option when the profiles are closed curves and the result will be a solid body. Unchecked will create a surface.

ProfileOrientation:

Rotate- Use this option when the profile 'normal' will need to stay parallel to the path curves.

Translate- Use this option when a more rigid translation of profiles along the path curves is desired.
