Module sweep 

The sweep families that place a profile along a path.

Each differs only in how the profile is carried: a tapered family blends two profiles, a fixed-reference sweep keeps one direction, a surface-curve sweep takes its up vector from a surface normal. The stitching is shared with every other sweep in loft.

Structs

SampledPath

A directrix sampled into chords for a sweep that bounds its walls (#231).

Functions

fixed_reference_sweep

Sweep a profile along a sampled directrix with a fixed reference.

fixed_reference_sweep_within

fixed_reference_sweep whose walls stay within budget of the surface its rings trace along a smooth directrix (#231).

linear_extrusion_normals

sectioned_spine

Loft explicit sections placed along a spine.

surface_curve_sweep

Sweep a profile along a directrix lying on a reference surface.

surface_curve_sweep_within

surface_curve_sweep whose walls stay within budget of the surface its rings trace along a smooth directrix (#231).

swept_disk

Sweep a disk along a directrix, optionally hollow.

swept_disk_within

swept_disk whose surface stays within chord of the exact tube round a smooth directrix (#231).

tapered_extrude

Extrude between two profiles, blending linearly along the direction.

tapered_revolve

Revolve between two profiles.
