About the Sweep Tool
Use the Sweep tool to create a board segment or a surface with constant or variable section sweep geometry, or to create a solid cut. For a constant section swept surface or segment, sketch a closed section and then sweep it along a sketched trajectory. For a variable section swept surface or board segment, use multiple trajectories aligned with the section vertices.
You can redefine a swept segment as a surface, or a swept surface as a segment. You must specify thickness for a first segment.
Additional options specific to board segments are available for the Sweep tool. For more information on the Sweep tool, search the Help Center.
