Profile Shape
There are some shapes to choose from when making a sweep.
Rectangular
Rectangular shape is defined by its width and height.
Circular
The circular form is defined by its diameter.
File
The file form is defined by a file with points.
A file sample:
File selections have to be in .txt and the format is as described below:
The X part of the 2D coordinate is written in the first column, while the X is written in the second, separated by a space. The next coordinate is found by “enter”. You can add comments to the file using the hash command. Also, you need to close the line, that is the first and the last coordinate have to be the same.
Example:
10.0000;10.0000
10.0000;20.0000
40.0000;20.0000
40.0000;-20.0000
30.0000;-20.0000
30.0000;10.0000
Remember to add the first point at the end to close the shape.
10.0000;10.0000
