Background

I would like to model a tunnel in AECOsim. The Tunnel Alignment is a double curve line and along the element, The section profile also keeps on changing. I generally use "Swept Blend" function to pick the start and end profile and the path to create the Tunnel. Is there anyway that I can create this tunnel in AECOsim?

Steps to Accomplish

You can try the "Swept Surface along Curves" from the Surfaces tool. You can follow this path Tools > Surfaces > Create Freeform Surfaces > Swept Surface along Curves.

Then you would have the option to convert the smart surface to a smart solid as per your conditions.
