Hi Will,
>>Well I tried for example drawing a circle for the profile, I offset the circle to make a smaller one (inner diameter)
>>- I selected both circles, executed the sweep command and then selected my squiggly line
>>- only the outer diameter circle was used for the sweep...
No, both circles were used for sweeping!
I agree it would be fantastic if MoI was able to handle this kind of sweeping as well. Brian mentioned one viable way - sweeping a planar surface. However I guess it is not impossible to identify this as a special case and do sweeping properly in order we can get a tubular shape:
-both curves are planar
-both curves are lying on the same plane
-one of them is completely inside the other
What do you feel about it, Michael?
edit: And generally, if there was more than two rails selected, MoI would sweep a profile(s) along each rail individually. It would allow "handling a larger number of curves at once" :)
