Sweep Custom Section Type does not update same Geometry of a different scale

liamyongging — Sun, 13 Jul 2025 06:25:36 GMT

Hi gang,

Ive created a sweep with a custom section type ( Ex: Line 007 ), which is too small.

I have since created a copy of Line 007, named it 009 and Picked Line 009 instead as the custom section.

However the size of the sweep is still Line 007.

Any advice on this is very much appreciated.

How did you change the size of "Line 009"?

Maybe using the Select+Scale tool? If so, try to go into sub-object mode for Line 009 and then select all vertices and scale them there. This will move vertex positions instead of changing the Line object's transform.
