Ability to control length of sweep along curve (Parker Hannifin)

Ability to control length of sweep along curve (Parker Hannifin)

User would like the ability to control the length of a sweep along a curve. For example, if the user would like to stop the sweep short of the end of the path, the user is required to either shorten the path or perform an operation to cut off the unneeded geometry. Alternatively, the user would also like to be able to control the start point of the sweep. In general, once a path and a profile exists, the user would like to be able to control the start and end, regardless of the length of the path.

I would find this usefull as well, especially if you can give an absolute length.

Was about to post an idea before finding this post.  This would be extremely beneficial for my current project which requires difference diameters of pipe at different distances along a 3d path (with bends).  The current work around of creating additional 3dsketches, including geometry and then trimming that included geometry to the required point is very tedious and inefficient.
