Swept Blends

In the conceptual design environment, a swept blend is created from two or more 2D profiles that are swept along a path. The profile consists of linework drawn perpendicular to the line that define the path.

Note: If you are creating a component family using a template other than a massing or adaptive component template, see Creating a Swept Blend.

To create a swept blend.

1. Using the tools on the Create tabDraw panel, draw a series of connected lines to form a path.
   
2. Click Create tabDraw panel Point Element and place reference points for the swept blend profiles along the path.
   
3. Select a reference point and draw a closed profile on its work plane.
   
4. Similarly, draw profiles for the remaining reference points.
   
5. Select the path and profiles.
6. Click Modify | Lines tabForm panel Create Form. See Accessing the Create Form Tool.
