Hi Rob, check out the "Pipe" plug-in from here:

That is an extra command that you can download and install into your copy of MoI which will give you a "Pipe" command which can take multiple rails in one shot for producing many one-rail sweeps at once.

That may help you out if you need to do a lot of circular sweeps.


For the regular sweep command, I do want to update it so that a selection of 3 or more rails will get the one-rail sweep applied to all of them individually. I think I will be trying to do that when I get a chance to work on some various sweep updates here near the end of v2.

This part I'm not so sure about, since it means increasing the complexity of the sweep command by adding another UI control for it - it is already one of the most complex commands with many options so that is kind of bad to make it even more cluttered for the regular case...

Also it tends to be a more unusual situation to want to apply a large number of 2-rail sweeps, it tends to be a more common situation to need to do a larger number of tubes with 1-rail sweep instead.

One thing you could do instead for this if you need to do a large number of 2-rail sweeps is to install the altered version of sweep from this recent post:

which will deselect the rails after the sweep is finished, this will make it easier to just repeat the command several times with the regular right-click.
