I think this would be possible using 3D hull, as the swept would be the hulling of two identical shapes.
Thoughts?
That would be true for the simple example shown above but 3D hull would not work for more complex situations. For example if the path is a curve. It could be approximated by placing identical objects at intervals along the curve but, not only would that be a pain to do, it wouldn't produce any true curves.
@gabrielandreussi Please see the examples for V2 JSCAD. There have been improvements to extruding, including extruding while following a path in 3D space.

Hello, I would like to know if there is a way to swept a solid into a path. I managed to find a result by transforming a solid into polygons and extruding them, but the result is slow and can only be done for linear extrusions. Example image attached Solid:

I would be happy if there is a solution for this, or if you are thinking about developing something Thanks
