Detailed Description

The abstract class MakeSweep is the root class of swept primitives. Sweeps are objects you obtain by sweeping a profile along a path. The profile can be any topology and the path is usually a curve or a wire. The profile generates objects according to the following rules:

Vertices generate Edges
Edges generate Faces.
Wires generate Shells.
Faces generate Solids.
Shells generate Composite Solids. You are not allowed to sweep Solids and Composite Solids. Two kinds of sweeps are implemented in the BRepPrimAPI package:
The linear sweep called a Prism
The rotational sweep called a Revol Swept constructions along complex profiles such as BSpline curves are also available in the BRepOffsetAPI package..
