Sweep imported structural profiles

[KimBruns]

I want to sweep a I-beam along a 3d sketch to create a conveyor. I will be using different shapes at times so the profile won't always have the same shape, sometimes a small I-beam or a large one or possibly square tubing.

I know I can create the profile and dimension it but is there an easy way to import the profiles from Frame Generator into the sketch or another way without having to create and dimension the sketch?  Or is this one of those tasks you just can't avoid?

Thanks,

Kim

Hi

If your path is made with line and arc, i suggest  to use directly frame generator and use merge option.

Sorry, I was thinking backwards.  I was thinking I had to sweep a profile when all I have to do is create the 3d sketch and use the Frame Generator on it.  I was making it more complicated than it was.

Duh!!

Thanks,
