Sweep 2 - Tangency/Curvature

Is there a reason I can’t select tangecy or curvature for the Sweep 2 options?
I’m using nurb curves for both profiles and guides.
Do I need to convert those nurbs to something else in order that those options become available?

It would help if you showed a picture of what you are trying to sweep, and against what surfaces. :slight_smile:

Could it be that these are reserved for surface and/or brep edges as rail curves, since their surfaces are needed to compute the tangency and curvature of the sweep surface?

Hello- if the input curves on the cross sections are rational, like arcs, then you do not get to set that option. Use the Rebuild option to 4 or 6 points to allow tangency and curvature. If the rail curves are not surface edges, you cannot have these settings at all.

Thanks Pascal. That’s the information I was looking for as my rail curves are only nurb curves; So now I know.
