Sweep
Carries a section along a path, like a handrail or a molding.
Sweep uses two paths: the first child is the trajectory and the second is the section, a closed path. The section counts by its drawing, wherever it is: its center moves along the trajectory, with the section's X axis to the side and Y up.
It is useful for handrails, moldings, pipes and handles. The trajectory can be open or closed.
Properties
- Close the ends: Closes both ends of an open trajectory.
- Section: Round makes a tube with the radius and sides you set, without the second path, like a handle or a round handrail.
- Orientation: Fixed up keeps the section's Y always pointing the same way and joins the segments with mitered corners, like a molding or a window frame.
- Texture: In meters lays the texture along the path at real scale, with the size and aspect of the image.
