And we can either extrude a basic shape such as a circle or a rectangle around that path. Or we can use a custom profile. And that's what I've got here. I've got a custom profile to be extruded along this path. So let's add a sweep modifier. I'll select the rectangle, go to the Modify panel, and from the modifier list, scroll down and add a sweep modifier. And by default we're going to get a built in section or profile and we've got a bar. And there are parameters we can adjust. So if we scroll down here a little bit, we'll see under parameters we've got length and width and we can adjust those to get different shapes to the profile curve which is being extruded down that path.…
