Solids Builder - Swept

Swept - creates a solid by scanning a flat figure ( circleou polyline)   into a one curve:

Swept activity is typically used to create longitudinal, or linear devices, Where: the section is constant:

The Scan activity has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Name - extrude name
    The name of the extrude must follow the naming rules
  • Figure to Extrude - name of the flat curve to be extruded ( circleou polyline)
    Note, ideally, the section should be aligned with the path cure.
    To do this, you can use the example scheme, using the Ucs activity:
    
    
    also note that Civil 3D deforms the pipe section, doing something like this:
    
    
    For small declivities this does not matter, but in water descents, it makes a lot of difference. In these cases, you can calculate a height deformed that takes into account the slope of the slope, or align the section with the slope
  • Path Entity - name of the curve Where: the section will be slid
  • Visible Object - indicates whether or not the point should be drawn in the preview

If the text is too big/small, or the sphere representing the point is too big or small, use the buttons ( A, a, , ) at the top of the screen to change the preview
