Swept Protrusion command

Use the Swept Protrusion command to construct a protrusion by extruding a cross section (A) along a path (B) you define.

You can define up to three paths and many cross sections. To define the path curves and cross sections, you can:

• Draw the profiles as you construct the feature

• Select elements from an existing sketch

• Select edges on the model or a construction body

When constructing swept features with three paths, after you select the third path, the command automatically proceeds to the Cross Section Step.

When working with swept features that have more than one path and cross section, you should consider drawing sketches first, rather than drawing the profiles as you construct the feature. This approach can make it easier to construct and edit the feature.

Regardless of the approach you use, the feature is associative to the elements you select to define the paths and cross sections.
