That's exactly what the Pipe command does - it is basically a macro for making 2 sweeps and then booleaning the small center one from the large one.

I'm not sure exactly how a width or diameter would work for all cases with sweep, because sweep is not limited to only have a circle or rectangle cross-section, it can have any curve as the cross-section shape including non-planar ones...

In the future I would like to do something to make it possible to select a kind of group of curves for one cross-section, like this for example:



That would be more general purpose than having a single width or diameter parameter.

I have that on my list of stuff to look at for sweep in the future, but I'm not sure exactly when that will happen - definitely not for v2 though.
