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.
