I need to build a cylinder along a “sketch line” made up of about 20 segments and arcs. Every time I go step by step for each segment or arc but a lot of time is wasted. It is possible to carry out the sweep in a single solution for the entire length of the “sketch line”. Furthermore, given that it often also moves in altitude, I only know when there is a discontinuity when I go to click on the segment. Isn’t it possible to check the “sketch line” before the sweep?

Have you tried double-clicking/tapping on the sketch line? It selects the entire contiguous segment, allowing you to both check if it’s indeed contiguous and to do the sweep in one go.

I’ve never double clicked on it, now I’ll try and let you know. Thank you.
