Sweeping Examples

Hexagons swept around circular and hexagonal sweep paths.
Sweeping along a primary trajectory with Normal to Trajectory selected. Every section plane that is normal to the origin trajectory is the exact same profile as the initial section, limited by the extents of the trajectory.
Sweeping along a primary trajectory with Normal to Trajectory not selected. Every section plane that is parallel to the initial section profile is the exact same profile as that initial section, limited by the extents of the trajectory.
Sweeping a rectangle along a trajectory with Normal to Trajectory selected.
Sweeping a rectangle along a trajectory with Normal to Trajectory not selected.
Sweeping a hole along a trajectory by selecting the axis of the hole, then the trajectory.

If you sweep a non-continuous profile, separate swept surfaces are created.
