sweep again

[ctopher]

is it possible to sweep and the diameter get bigger at one point and back to the orig dia? Or can it be done other than sweep? Also where the dia changes, there is a bend at 19 degrees.
thanks

Perhaps set up a guide curve to control the diameter through the sweep path.

If the ladies don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Or you could create a centerline loft between the three profiles.

thanks Tick, but I'm not familiar with how to do that.
Do you have a short explanation? thanks

 

[TheTick]

I made a sample part for you. Shoot me an email at the address listed in my profile.

If it's just circles you could do a revolve. Just draw half of the side view cutout with a dash line to revolve around. The help will explain it better. Kind of like this...

thanks much Tick
The guide curve worked.
What I ended up needing to do was sweep a shrink tubing over some parts and around the cable, the guide curve allowed me to do it.
