Choose Surfacing tab→Surfacing group→Swept Surface.

On the Sweep Options dialog box, select a method for creating the sweep. You can create swept features using a single path and cross section or multiple paths and cross sections.

On the command bar, select a method for defining the sweep path. You can draw a path, select part edges, or select sketch elements.

To define path curves, do one of the following:

• If you are drawing a path, define the profile plane you want to draw it on, then draw the path or copy a path into the profile window. When drawing paths, you must click the Finish button after drawing each path.

  How To

  Show Me

• If you are using part edges to define the path, select the edge or edges you want to use and then click the Accept (check mark) button on the command bar.

• If you are using sketch elements to define the path, select the sketch elements you want to use and then click the Accept (check mark) button on the command bar.

If you are defining a swept feature with more than one path curve, click the Next button to proceed to the Cross Section Step. If you are defining a swept feature with a single path curve, the command automatically proceeds to the next step.

To define cross sections, do one of the following:

• If you are drawing a cross section, define the profile plane you want to draw it on, then draw the path or copy a path into the profile window. When drawing cross sections, you must click the Finish button after drawing each cross section.

• If you are using part edges to define the cross section, select the edge or edges you want to use and then click the Accept (check mark) button on the command bar.

• If you are using sketch elements to define the cross section, select the sketch elements you want to use and then click the Accept (check mark) button on the command bar.

  Note:

  When defining non-periodic cross sections using part edges or sketch elements, you must define the start point for each cross section by selecting a vertex on the cross section.

Click the Preview button on the command bar.
