Parameters

Propagate

True propagates the swept protrusion to the next tangent edge, false does not

Alignment

True causes the swept protrusion to go through the end faces if the curve used for the sweep goes from one face to another or from one edge to another, false causes the swept protrusion to begin and end perpendicular to the sweep curve and it cannot break through the two end faces of the body

TwistCtrlOption

Twist control options as defined by swTwistControlType_e

KeepTangency

If the sweep section has tangent segments, then True to cause the corresponding surfaces
in the resulting sweep to be tangent, false to not

BAdvancedSmoothing

If the sweep section has circular or elliptical arcs, then True to approximate the
sections and smooth the surfaces, false to not

StartMatchingType

Tangency type as defined by swTangencyType_e

EndMatchingType

Tangency type as defined by swTangencyType_e

IsThinBody

True if this feature is a thin body, false if not

Thickness1

Thickness value for the first direction

Thickness2

Thickness value for the second direction

ThinType

Thin wall type as defined by swThinWallType_e

PathAlign

Align path type (see Remarks)

Merge

True to merge the results in a multibody part, false to not

UseFeatScope

True if the feature only affects selected bodies, false if the feature affects all
bodies

UseAutoSelect

True to automatically select all bodies and have the feature affect those bodies,
false to select the bodies the feature affects (see Remarks)

TwistAngle

If TwistCtrlOption set to swTwistControlConstantTwistAlongPath, then specify end twist
angle

BMergeSmoothFaces

True to merge smooth faces, false to not

Return Value

Use IModelDocExtension::SelectByID2 to select the profile and sweep curves. The mark for:

• 1 = Profile selection

• 2 = Guide curve selection, if provided

• 4 = Sweep path

The PathAlign argument is available when TtwistCtrlOption is set to 0 (follow path) and can take one of these values:

• 0 = None; no correction (default)

• 2 = Direction vector; a plane, planar face, or line defines the path

• 3 = All faces; includes neighboring faces

When UseAutoSelect is false, the user must select the bodies that the feature will affect.
