Model: sweep a profile along a path

Guide: Model: sweep a profile along a path · · 1 min read

Run a face along edges: a skirting board round a room, a gutter, a handrail, a round shape that turns round an axis.

A profile swept along a path of edges.

Model: sweep a profile along a path: step by step

  1. 1. Profile

    Draw the profile as a face where the path starts, square to it. Press W and click the profile.

  2. 2. Path

    Click an edge for the whole row of joined edges, or a face to go round its edge. A circle as the path turns the profile all the way round.

  3. 3. Path first

    Chose the edges first? Then one click on the profile is enough.
