I would like to extrude an object, for example a rectangle along a path. So I have a 2D object and a 3D path. In C3D I can do this with the command 'sweep'.
And I would like to have an output like this (solid):
who could help me please? 😃
Or somebody could have another possibility, all lines are offsets from 1 centerline
Hi,
Extrude along a path eg simple shapes - such as circles, squares, triangles (any profile ideally).
Yes, I would find this feature very useful also. Would be a much loved feature in FME.
AFAIK - currently not possible in FME
.............
I think that the nearest we have currently in FME is:
Extruder Transformer - but only extrudes in 1 direction eg vertically - such as 2d building footprints to simple 3d solids OR
Bufferer Transformer - in 3d (solid) mode - will create tubes (ie solids of circular cross section) along polylines eg pipes
Hub3dBufferer is similar I believe

Have you got AutoCad or SketchUp ???
Then its very simple with these programs.
Until then, consider upvoting this idea (and keep your fingers crossed) .......
