    Default Multi-Plane Sweeps

    Is it possible to create a sweep on multiple planes?

    What I'm trying to do is create a soda gun, with the soda line running in all axis (x, y, z). Is this possible?? I haven't been able to figure it out yet. I've tried create angled planes and everything with no luck. I can't even create a model line is open space and manipulate its points in the z-axis. I found this odd.

    Yes its possible. I was able to create ref. planes at different angles and "pick plane" on which the sweep lines where created. The difficulty was getting the end points to snap. I haven't tried making it that way since. If you sketch it as a regular family, it proves to be difficult. However, if you create it as a generic conceptual mass and load it into a generic family, you will find that is is really really easy to create a multi-plane sweep.
    Lastly, if you're up for it. Dynamo is a good alternative to creating shapes if that is what you are after.
