Sweep a section of an implicit body along a rail curve while a vector field drives its orientation.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
Body	Implicit Body	Implicit body to sweep. The cross section of the body within the Start Plane will be swept along the rail.
Plane	Plane	Plane used to define the cross-section of the body at the start of the sweep.
Rail	Curve	Rail curve to sweep along.
Alignment	Vector Field	Vector Field driving the orientation of the section along the rail. The section’s local X direction follows it as closely as the Plane perpendicular to the rail allows.
Caps	Bool	If checked, closes the swept body with planar caps at the start and end of the sweep.
Spine	Curve	Optional spine Curve to define section Plane orientation.
Scale	Scalar Field	Optional Scalar Field that uniformly scales the section within the moving plane. If not provided, the section is not scaled.

Outputs

Sweep a Profile along a rail curve while a vector field drives its orientation.

Inputs

Name	Type	Description
Profile	Profile	Profile to sweep along the rail.
Rail	Curve	Rail curve to sweep along.
Alignment	Vector Field	Vector Field driving the orientation of the section along the rail. The section’s local X direction follows it as closely as the Plane perpendicular to the rail allows.
Caps	Bool	If checked, closes the swept body with planar caps at the start and end of the sweep.
Spine	Curve	Optional spine Curve to define section Plane orientation.
Scale	Scalar Field	Optional Scalar Field that uniformly scales the section within the moving plane. If not provided, the section is not scaled.
