In the Design workspace, on the Surface tab, the Sweep command creates a surface body from a profile swept along a path in Fusion.

Design > Surface > Create > Sweep

Feature tab

Select geometry and define the sweep settings.

Type

Select the type of sweep to create.

• Single Path: Sweeps the selected profile along the path.
• Path + Guide Rail: Sweeps the selected profile along the path and uses the guide rail to control scale and orientation of the swept geometry.
• Path + Guide Surface: Sweeps the selected profile along the path and uses the guide surface to control scale and orientation of the swept geometry.

Profile

Select a profile to sweep along the path.

Path

Select a path to sweep the profile along.

Guide Rail

Select a guide rail to control the scale and orientation of the profile as it is swept along the path.

Chain Selection

Check to automatically select tangentially connected geometry.

Distance

Specify the distance to sweep along the path.

Value is measured in percentage of the total distance.

Range: 0.00-1.00

Profile Scaling

Controls the scale and orientation based on the guide rail.

• Scale: Use path - guide rail distance to scale profile in both X and Y directions.
• Stretch: Use path - guide rail distance to scale profile in X (stretches profile between rails while maintaining height).
• None: Do not scale profile along sweep; just use guide rail as a orientation guide.

Orientation

• Perpendicular: Orients the swept body perpendicular to the path.
• Parallel: Orients the swept body parallel to the path.

Operation

Select an operation to control how the feature affects the design.

• New Body: Creates a new body in the active component.
• New Component: Creates a new body in a new component.

Analysis tab

Lets you analyze the quality of surface curvature on the previewed result in the canvas.

Analysis Type

Select an analysis type to visualize the quality of surface curvature on the selected body.

Type	Description
None	Displays no analysis.
Zebra	Displays alternating black and white stripes on a body to help you analyze surface curvature.
Curvature Map	Displays a color gradient on a body to help you analyze areas of high and low surface curvature.
Isocurve	Applies UV mapping and curvature combs to help you analyze the quality of the surface curvature.

Bodies

Select bodies to analyze.
