Sweep Boss
Sweep Boss
(OP)
I have constructed a 3D wire frame that is the centerline of a Bent Wire that I want. How do I go about Sweeping a circular shape along this wire frame centerline?
The Sweep Boss/Base Icon is shaded, not lit.
I was able to do basically the same procedure on a wire frame that I constructed on one plane, but not when frame is in over one plane.

RE: Sweep Boss
That said, here's a couple of hints:
To make a solid sweep you need a sweep path and a section. You have the sweep path. Make sure the path you have is a single entity (make it a composite cuve if it's not). Then create a plane at the endpoint of the path and sketch the section. Use a peircepoint constriant in the section to constrian your section to the path.
