This document discusses how to create volumes along paths in Mechanical Desktop 6.0. It describes how to create both 2D and 3D paths, and then use those paths to sweep a profile and generate a volume. For 2D paths, the sketching tools are used to draw the path shape, and then the Am2Dpath command generates a profile plane perpendicular to the path. For 3D paths, the profile is sketched on the initial profile plane, and then the amsweep command sweeps the profile along the path to create the volume. Options for the sweep operation and body type are also described.
