Module loft 

Lofting a sequence of station rings into a solid.

Every sweep family reduces to the same shape: place the profile at a series of stations along a path, stitch consecutive stations into walls, and cap the ends unless the path closes on itself. Extrusion is two stations; revolution is an arc of them; a sectioned spine supplies its own.

Writing that once means winding, hole orientation and cap pairing are fixed in one place rather than re-derived per family.

Structs
