Four methods of creating a swept surface are possible:
Extrude
By extruding a single curve a specified Distance.
Curve and Path
By sweeping a curve along a path (2D or 3D curve).
Face and Path
By sweeping a face along a path, resulting in a solid rather than a surface.
Tube
By sweeping a circle (of the specified Radius) along a path defining its central axis.
Where relevant, the Rigid option can be set, forcing the curve or face to keep its original orientation rather than it being kept normal to the path.
An angle (Draft), in degrees, by which to expand the face from its original orientation can be specified.
