Sweep with a Library Section Feature

Library

You can sweeps a cross section selected from the library along a guide curve. The guide curve can be based on a sketch, or it can be a line on a part. A sweep can be used to add or cut out material. Define the sweep properties in the dialog box, so the feature will be modeled.

The sweep feature is created based on one cross section.

The cross section must be fit to curl along the guide curve so that it won't swing around it self.
