Sweep Feature Properties

Property Options

Name

Name the feature. Unique names for each feature is not required, but useful in managing a longer feature stack.

Sweep Path

Select any other path mesh in the scene.

Cap Start/End of Sweep

Optionally, create a flat plane in the shape of the parent sketch to give the leading edge of the sweep a finished look.

Use Mitered Extrusion If your sweep path includes sharp angles, they will be softened by a mitre. This is useful for rigid elements, such as sheet metal ductwork, or wooden moulding around doors/windows.
