I need to build a wire that bent in three dimensions. Is it possible to make sweep in 3d ?

@sergei_nesterov the sweep feature will work but the creation of the path is going to be a bit more involved. Today we do not have a 3D sketcher so you need to make your path using multiple sketches or add points where you can use the wire featurescript.Lou Gallo

the manual describes the case for only two dimensions. I.e. for the case when the curve is within the same plane. But my curve is composite and lies on three planes (sketches). When I select Sweep, I get an error.

I have not learn scrips, yet.Using custom features doesn't require doing any scripting yourself. Simply click the "+ Custom features" button on that document to add the wiring feature to your toolbar:
After clicking on the wiring feature, it will be added as a button in your toolbar. You can use the wiring feature by clicking on that button:
The Wiring Feature.pdf tab in the linked document has instructions for using the wiring feature.
You can learn more about using custom features here:
