To sweep multiple cross sections along two rails

1 Sweep multiple cross sections along two rails, responding to the prompts.

Desktop Menu Surface ➤ Create Surface ➤ Sweep

Select cross sections:

Select cross sections (1) through (5) in consecutive order and press ENTER

Select rails: Select first rail (6)

Select rails: Select second rail (7)

2 In the Sweep Surface dialog box, choose OK to accept the default scale.

Because the cross sections have rounded corners, a single surface results. If

the cross section had square corners, three surfaces would have been created.

ZOOM to redisplay all the wireframes and select the

object for the next exercise.
