Cross Section Between Two Points

Profile Structure Design

You can add a profile cross section between two selected points so that the cross section even has different insertion points at the starting and end points.

  • To have the profile part set to the desired plane, you have to define the sweep plane.
  • When sweeping a profile, you must always define the sweeping direction or sweep plane.
  • A profile part created this way is a part fixed to the assembly.
