Sweep Profiles

Depending on the sweep feature, you can choose one of following profiles:
  • A Sketch Profile creates a base, boss, cut, or surface sweep by moving a 2D profile along a 2D or 3D sketch path.
    If you are using a mid-path profile, you can create a bidirectional sweep.
  • A Circular Profile creates a solid rod or hollow tube along a sketch line, edge, or curve directly on a model, without having to sketch the profiles.
  • A Solid Profile creates a cut sweep using a tool body and path, for example to create a cut around a cylindrical body.
