"Extrude" a solid body, along a series of curves.
(OP)
I'd like to Drive a solid body along a series of curves. Kind of like the "Tube" feature, but the body isn't round, nor perpendicular to the curves. It has depth beyond the end of the curve.

Note that there is a way of getting a faceted body that represents the volume of space swept-out by a moving solid body, but the results can't be used for modeling operations but you can do interference checking and take measurements using it.
