The shape in the image was created by setting the pivot a distance from the swept face, static sweeping the face with 128 segments, scaling down, right mouse rotate(enhanced widget) several rotations then translating up a bit.

Installation:

1. install the persistent base if not already installed
2. drag the node into the link editor
3. delete the node from the scene after install is complete

Usage:

1. select faces or edges
2. push the button and the selection is swept by a tiny amount, too small to be seen. It will use the values previously set in the panel.
3. use the point edit widget to move the new swept geometry.

Usage 2:

1. select faces or edges
2. right click the button to open the panel
3. choose options including sweep count
4. press the sweep button
5. use the point edit widget to move the new swept geometry.

Notes:

• It is good for edge selections that sweep in unpredictable ways or even cause truespace to crash.
• When more than one sweep level is used a soft selection is created. When this soft selection is combined with the enhanced PE widget included in the unofficial truespace patch ) it can be made to simulate a lathe type action.
• A large number of sweep segments can take a while, the status line will indicate when it is complete. Do not use with the mesh editor preserve unwrap option with a large number of sweep segments since the uv values can get a little crazy.
• This tool inherits a bug from Dynamic sweep. If you make a loop selection and have the average normals option checked the result will not be good.
