Sweeping

Sweeping is a computer aided design or CAD term. It is essentially another name for a positive extrusion. Positive extrusion is the act of taking a 2D plane, forming a shape on that plane, and then pushing out a solid object in that shape as a cylinder from that plane. Where the shape?s cylinder passes, a pillar of solid material is added.
