Parameters

Propagate

True propagates the sweep to the next edge, false causes the sweep to occur only on the selected edge; to propagate to the next edge, the next edge must be tangent to the current edge

TwistCtrlOption

Twist control option as defined in 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 in swTangencyType_e

EndMatchingType

Tangency type as defined in swTangencyType_e

PathAlign

Align path type (see Remarks)

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 swTwistControlType_e.swTwistControlConstantTwistAlongPath, then specify end twist angle

BMergeSmoothFaces

True to merge smooth faces, false to not

CircularProfile

True to use a circular profile, false to use the selected sketch profile or solid body

CircularProfileDiameter

If CircularProfile is true, then specify the diameter of the circular profile

Direction

Direction as defined in swSweepDirection_e (see Remarks)

Return Value

SOLIDWORKS 2018 introduces a new sweep architecture, making this method obsolete. See Sweep Features and SweepFeatureData Objects to create this sweep surface.

Because you are creating a surface, the sections can be open.

Use IModelDocExtension::SelectByID2 to select the sketch profile and sweep curves. Specify these marks:

• 1 = Sketch profile

• 2 = Guide curve, if provided

• 4 = Sweep path

The PathAlign argument is available when TwistCtrlOption is set to swTwistControlType_e.swTwistControlFollowPath 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.

Direction only applies to sketch profiles and only when the sketch profile is not coincident with an end of the path.
