Hi Apophis,

Certainly for this particular case, but it is just not very practical to make a "super tool" that has every other tool all combined into it because things just get too complex with a zillion options that way.
That's why you often have to use a combination of other tools to get what you want, that helps to keep the complexity of each of those tools to a more managable level.

But actually you can - there is a "Through point" mode for offset where you can adjust the offset more freely by picking a point that it will go through rather than only specifying the exact distance.
If you want to get a more fully interact offset sweep thing going, you can use history to set that up.
Since you have a sphere you actually don't need to use offset if you don't want, you can just use Draw curve / Arc to draw in an arc path, set up a sweep on it and then use Transform/Scale to modify the arc and watch the sweep update, like this:
Just make sure not to make the sweep path get so big that the rectangle profile gets to be inside of its bounding box, because sweep will switch from "autoplace" mode into "sweep profiles from their current locations" mode when that happens.
