Joys of Sweep
First time Optigon released Sweep tool, i couldnt unfortunately understand its extreme importance: using Sweep, you can Extrude, Inset and Bend simultaneously, if i could express by this way!

I recorded three short videos just to show and invite wingers to use it more and more and more.

In all the situations, i created a hotkey to
Sweep | RMB Sweep Region.
So every time i hit this hotkey, Wings waits i pick the Sweep axis:
i pick it with lmb and execute with rmb click.

Sweep waits for various user inputs; they are listed in left side of info line:
Drag: extrude the selection
Lmb+drag: rotate the selection around picked ax
Ctrl+Rmb+drag: scale the selection
Rmb+drag: rotate the selection around Normal

Tip:
Ctrl+D: repeat, but first you have to pick again the Sweep axis.
D: repeat, using the last picked Sweep axis.
Shift+D: repeat the last Sweep operation, without new user inputs.

Thanks for watching: any feedbacks are appreciated. I'll try to record another ones, more didatic, but if anyone have questions about what is being shown at video, just let me know and i can explain better: it is really a fantastic tool. Smile




At the first video, i Lmb drag to rotate the selection, but keeping Shift hold,
and this key was set here to rotate any selection by increments of 15 degrees.
User can set this value at:
Edit/Preferences|Constraints tab|Rotation Constraints.
