- [Instructor] Walking through the various curves
that we can create,
let's now take a look at the composite curve.
This is, simply put, a composite of a number of edges
that you select.
If I go over to this model that I've got here
and I just start selecting some edges that are all touching.
I'm holding down control when I do this.
I can go up here, go to insert, curve, and select composite.
You can see here that the window is already populated
with my selection for composite curve.
Go ahead and hit the green check mark
and I've created a curve there.
It's basically a 3D sketch,
but it's combined to be one continuous thing.
Now, if I go to this point and create a plane,
I can make a sketch there.
If this circle is coincident with that composite,
we should be able to use it to make a sweep.
I'm going to make a swept cut choosing this profile
and then I'm going to go to the drop-down menu here
and select the composite curve for the path.
You can see, that follows that all the way around the part
and makes that cut.
This is a pretty awesome tool if you're trying
to make some complex profiles based on existing geometry
and you're going to mostly leverage it for things like sweeps
and swept cuts.
