Curve to line segments?

Hi Steve, that's a restriction - the mitered corners are only able to be calculated properly if the sweep is like a constant-width tube.

If you have multiple profile shapes or if you have "pointy ends" set, it means the sweep is changing in thickness throughout, and in the general case there is no guarantee that a linear extension at the corner areas will actually seamlessly match up with one another in a very regular way.
