Creates an animated sweep
for the selected objects. See
To use animated sweep.

Animated Sweep > 
Time Range
Set one of the following
options:
- Time Slider
-
Creates an animated sweep
for the length of time defined by the length of the time slider.
- Start/End
-
Lets you set a specific
a Start time and End
Time for the animated sweep.
- By Time
-
Evaluates the animation
and create geometry for each By Time position.
Parameterization
Set one of the following
options:
- Uniform
-
Makes
the profile curves run parallel to the V direction. The parameter
values of the resulting surface in the U direction are equally spaced. The
first profile curve corresponds to the isoparm on the surface at
U[0], the second to U[1], and so on.
- Chord Length
-
Causes
the parameter values on the resulting surface in the U direction
to be based on the distance between the start points of the profile curves.
Surface Degree
Sets the lofted surface
to linear or cubic in the U direction.
- Linear
-
Creates surfaces that
appear faceted.
- Cubic
-
- Surface
-
Specifies whether an
open or closed surface is created. See the Maya NURBS Modelling Guide for more
information.
- Output Geometry
-
Specifies the type of
geometry created. You can choose from NURBS or Polygons.
