Describe the sweep representation

Question

Describe the sweep representation in brief.

Answer 1

Sweep representations are helpful for constructing 3-dimensional objects such posses translational, rotational or other symmetries. We can symbolize such objects by specifying a 2-dimensional shape and a sweep which moves the shape via a region of space. A set of 2-dimensional primitives, like circles and rectangles, can be given for sweep representations as the menu options.
