Can somebody please help me out, I tryed everything to obtain a full path along a set of edges.
line 373
/* ---------------------- Why does this not generate multiple edges
opSweep(context, id + "sweep4", {
"profiles" : sketchEntityQuery(id + "sketch8", EntityType.EDGE, "flat"),
"path" : qCreatedBy(id + "sketch7", qEverything(EntityType.EDGE))
});
*/
opSweep(context, id + "sweep4", {
"profiles" : sketchEntityQuery(id + "sketch8", EntityType.EDGE, "flat"),
"path" : qCreatedBy(id + "sketch7", qEverything(EntityType.EDGE))
});
*/
Many thanks for any support.

First issue:
is not a valid query, I think what you are trying to say might be:
but by adding the following line of code, I can see what that resolves too:
You will need to be more discerning in your query to only capture the edges you want to sweep over.
This seems to get what you want:
const path = qUnion([ qCreatedBy(id + "helix4", EntityType.EDGE), sketchEntityQuery(id + "sketch7", EntityType.EDGE, "arc2"), sketchEntityQuery(id + "sketch7", EntityType.EDGE, "arc1"), sketchEntityQuery(id + "sketch7", EntityType.EDGE, "offset1"), sketchEntityQuery(id + "sketch7", EntityType.EDGE, "offset2") ]); opSweep(context, id + "sweep4", { "profiles" : sketchEntityQuery(id + "sketch8", EntityType.EDGE, "flat"), "path" : path });The "debug" call is very powerful to visually see what a query resolves to. When I was working out the correct edges to select, I built up all the pieces of the qUnion in a call like this:
debug(context, qUnion([ qCreatedBy(id + "helix4", EntityType.EDGE), sketchEntityQuery(id + "sketch7", EntityType.EDGE, "arc2"), sketchEntityQuery(id + "sketch7", EntityType.EDGE, "arc1"), sketchEntityQuery(id + "sketch7", EntityType.EDGE, "offset1"), sketchEntityQuery(id + "sketch7", EntityType.EDGE, "offset2") ]));Which showed this nice helpful red highlight:Then I knew the query was ready to be passed into opSweep!
