Hi Will,
quote:
"Also in the next beta the regular Sweep command will be able to handle doing sweeps along multiple rails without needing to install the Pipe plugin.
If you select 3 or more rails, it will just be the equivalent of doing a 1-rail sweep along each of them."
Is that in there as well?
Yup, that's in this release.
Here's an example - here select the profile shape:
Then run Construct > Sweep, you will then have a prompt that says "Select rails", and the new thing is that you can do a window select at this point to grab all those rail curves in one go, and get this result:
So the only thing to keep in mind is that if you select 2 rails, it will do a 2-rail sweep which is a different kind of surface creation than the 1-rail sweep.
So if you want to do 2 1-rail sweeps, you still need to repeat the 1-rail sweep twice to get that. But if you want to produce 20 of them (or any amount 3+) you can select all 20 path curves with just one sweep command to make that happen.
