This, like extrude, is able to create a 3-dimensional solid from a 2-dimensional sketch. However, unlike extrude, this creates a solid by using the extent of the sketch as its path. This is useful for creating more complex shapes that can't be created with a simple extrusion.
```js
sweep(data: SweepData, sketch: Sketch) -> Solid
```
### Arguments
| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|----------|------|-------------|----------|
| `data` | [`SweepData`](/docs/kcl/types/SweepData) | Data for a sweep. | Yes |
| `sketch` | [`Sketch`](/docs/kcl/types/Sketch) | A sketch is a collection of paths. | Yes |
### Returns
[`Solid`](/docs/kcl/types/Solid) - An solid is a collection of extrude surfaces.
// Create a spring by sweeping around the helix path.
springSketch = startSketchOn('YZ')
|> circle({ center = [0, 0], radius = 1 }, %)
// |> sweep({ path = helixPath }, %)
```
