SWEEP SURFACE

 

This function allows the user to create a surface by sweeping a pattern (a selected line) along another direction line.  The sweep direction follows the direction of the direction line.

 

          There are two types of SWEEP operations:

1.     NORMAL SWEEP

The section line rotates along the normal direction of the direction line while sweeping.

 

2.       RIGID SWEEP

The section line does not rotate while sweeping.

 

          The procedure of selecting lines is similar to those described in Section 5.2.1.
