I have tried several ways to figure out how to sweep more than one closed profiles along the same path but cant figure out how to do this.

Any helps?

Thank you in advance

Hello Rozen

Did you try grouping them together. Can you post a screen shot of the profiles?

I don't think it works with more than one closed path. A file or a pic would let us help you.

... it works, I have test it.
But it would be much more helpful to be able to add a groupe of solid bodies to a central solid body (i.e. like a gear and its teeth). Thease must be added one by one. 72 times ;-(
If it would be possible, I change the body to one layer and all teeth to an other layer. So I could select them all with one stroke for grouping and add the groupe also with one stroke to the body. I guess, all together no more than 10 mouse-clicks, so I have to do it 72 x 2 + x, round about 150 times.

You could extrude a 2D group of the gear profile instead of doing each tooth individually with the one rail sweep. The rail sweep is more for organic shapes. A gear is just a simple extrude.

... sorry, I can't pull up a group - that is the problem - but I have seen the group must have a covered surface, than it can be pulled up. Indead very easy! Thx. H.
