Hi everyone,
I’m trying to extrude/sweep a square profile along a curve, basically like the Pipe command, but with a square section instead of a circular one.
When I use Extrude Along, the section gets flattened/distorted when the curve changes direction.
When I try using Sweep1, I get this error:
“Sweep could not be created”
I can’t figure out what is causing the problem or how to set up the square section correctly so that it follows the curve without deforming.
I’ve attached the Grasshopper file.
Thank you very much for your help!

given your Profile curves are all polylines, maybe you are looking for something like MeshPipe with 4 edges?

From your screenshot, it seems to work! However, I can’t find the component you used. Which plug-in is it from?
When I open the file, grasshopper can’t download/install it automatically.

Hi @Cecilia_Martello,
This should just work. I’ve logged a bug.
