Sweeps and Swept Blends and Profiles along a Curved Rising Path

I’ve created a quick video tutorial [with sound] which I have included below:

Video Tutorial

You may have an issue when you have specific curves and rising paths for sweeps.  Depending on the geometry of the slope, a profile may not sweep along and maintain the same angle from start to finish.

One approach which typically works well is to instead use a Swept Blend, and specify the same profile at both ends.  This will additionally give you angle and offset dimensions at each end.

I hope this video helps!

Brilliant tip, thanks - would never have thought of that ;-)
