SWEEP Command

GstarCAD 2027 → Commands

Function Description:

This command is used to create a 3D solid or surface by sweeping a 2D object, 3D object or subobject.
Users can create a solid or surface by sweeping closed or open surface (planar or non-planar) along a closed or open path. They can select open surface to create another surface and select closed surface to create solid or another surface (depending on specified mode).
The following objects can be used to sweep: 2D or 3D splines, 2D polylines, 2D solids, edge subobjects of 3D solid, arcs, circles, ellipses, elliptical arcs, lines, regions, solids, edge subobjects of solid, surfaces and meshes, wide lines. The following objects can be used as a sweep path: 2D or 3D splines, 2D or 3D polylines, edge subobjects of 3D solid, helixes, arcs, circles, ellipses, elliptical arcs, lines.
