|
|
Extrude a sketch along a path.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
// Create a pipe using a sweep.
|
|
|
|
|
|
// Create a path for the sweep.
|
|
sweepPath = startSketchOn('XZ')
|
|
|> startProfileAt([0.05, 0.05], %)
|
|
|> line([0, 7], %)
|
|
|> tangentialArc({ offset = 90, radius = 5 }, %)
|
|
|> line([-3, 0], %)
|
|
|> tangentialArc({ offset = -90, radius = 5 }, %)
|
|
|> line([0, 7], %)
|
|
|
|
// Create a hole for the pipe.
|
|
pipeHole = startSketchOn('XY')
|
|
|> circle({ center = [0, 0], radius = 1.5 }, %)
|
|
|
|
sweepSketch = startSketchOn('XY')
|
|
|> circle({ center = [0, 0], radius = 2 }, %)
|
|
|> hole(pipeHole, %)
|
|
|> sweep({ path = sweepPath }, %)
|
|
```
