Sweeps along arbitrary paths Open or closed profile shapes can be swept along both planar and non-planar paths that have an arbitrary position in 3D space. They are created with two clicks of the mouse. The first click selects the profile to be swept (source shape), and the second click selects the path line along which it will be swept.
Left: Utility pipes derived by sweeping circles along 3D paths, Right: Freely unfolding "ribbons."
Left: A toy race track. Right: Sweeps with the source profile scaled and/or rotated.
Two unique variations of the sweeps are those generated from two different source shapes and those created along two paths. These sweeps offer additional impressive possibilities for creating some very challenging 3D forms.
Left:Two-path sweeps. Right: Two-source sweeps.
