Summary

Sweep-translate the object along the selected path.

 

How to Run

  • Ribbon Menu > [Edit] Tab > [Translate] Group > Sweep

 

Explanation

By Distance Method

A method to sweep-translate an object by inputting the starting point and distance of the sweep.

  • Copy Switch : When on and using the sweep-translate feature, the object is copied and created at the location along the path.

  • [Select Target]
    Copy Switch : When on and using the sweep-translate feature, the object is copied and created at the location along the path.

  • [Select Path]
    Select the path to which the selected object will sweep-translate.

  • [Method]

    • By Distance : By entering a distance, the target object sweep-translates along the path from the Start Point to the distance entered.

    • By 2 Points : By selecting two points on the selected path, the target object sweep-translates along the path between the two points.

  • [Path Range]
    After clicking the Pick Start Point button, select the starting point of the range for which the target object will sweep-translate along the path.

  • [Distance]
    Enter the total distance of the sweep-translate that the target object will follow from the starting point.

Set the direction/orientation in which the object is placed while moving along the path.

  • Follow Horizontal Path Axis : Set whether to apply the Local coordinate system of the path in the XY plane direction.

    • Off : The object's local coordinate system does not change as the path's local coordinate system changes.

    • On : According to the change of the local coordinate system of the path, the object's local coordinate system is changed (while maintaining the relative value).

  • Follow Vertical Path Axis : Set whether to apply the local coordinate system of the path in the Z-axis direction.

Set the center point of rotation that occurs when the object's local coordinate system changes according to the local coordinate system change of the path.

  • Target (Default) : Rotate along the center point of the target object.

  • Path : Rotate along the path.

  • [Preview Level]
    Set the style in which the preview generated at the sweep-translate point appears.

By 2 Points Method

A method to sweep-translate an object by inputting the starting point and distance of the sweep.

  • Copy switch : When on and using the sweep-translate feature, the object is copied and created at the location along the path.

  • [Select Target]
    Select the target object to sweep-translate.

  • [Select Path]
    Select a path to follow when the target object sweep-translates.

  • [Method]

    • By Distance : By entering a distance, the target object sweep-translates along the path from the Start Point to the distance entered.

    • By 2 Points : By selecting two points on the selected path, the target object sweep-translates along the path between the two points.

  • [Generate]
    Select the range by which the target object will sweep-translate by selecting the starting point and an endpoint on the path.

Set the direction/orientation in which the object is placed while moving along the path.

  • Follow Horizontal Path Axis : Set whether to apply the Local coordinate system of the path in the XY plane direction.

    • Off : The object's local coordinate system does not change as the path's local coordinate system changes.

    • On : According to the change of the local coordinate system of the path, the object's local coordinate system is changed (while maintaining the relative value).

  • Follow Vertical Path Axis : Set whether to apply the local coordinate system of the path in the Z-axis direction.

Set the center point of rotation that occurs when the object's local coordinate system changes according to the local coordinate system change of the path.

  • Target (Default) : Rotate along the center point of the target object.

  • Path : Rotate along the path.

  • [Preview Level]
    Set the style in which the preview generated at the sweep-translate point appears.
