# Cover, Sweep, Loft

Enclose open edges, make geometry changes along a path of edges, and connect multiple profiles or edges.

## To close a series of faces

1. From the **Advanced Geometry Tools** menu in the action bar, click the **Cover** tool. ![](https://193854745-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVWdttpiARClwDWoDArlA%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-28c0e4524bae902e6a7a070c4fa1e27d6fe186c8%2Fcover-tool.png?alt=media)
2. Click the edges of the object you want to cover.

## To sweep geometry along a path

1. Use a line to mark the face of an object that you want to cut. ![](https://193854745-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVWdttpiARClwDWoDArlA%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-743a0de06772366572da0d3bb894f51bb026bcba%2Fsweep.png?alt=media)
2. Click the sweep tool icon. ![](https://193854745-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVWdttpiARClwDWoDArlA%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-890d957f66d123d00dfce5f4de507e7971e82db7%2Fsweep-tool.png?alt=media)
3. Select the face you marked earlier.

   2. Click the **Finish** icon. The original object is modified along the sweep path. ![](https://193854745-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVWdttpiARClwDWoDArlA%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-b01961ee8fad2ce238f0f9ede9cb26ba8ef7b7ad%2Fsweep4.png?alt=media)![](https://193854745-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVWdttpiARClwDWoDArlA%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-6f4600add567d32ac6c0a0df04d44d17319386b5%2Fguid-e23d787e-5f90-4de1-b690-03306f0cb4b2-low%20\(1\).png?alt=media)

## To loft multiple profiles or edges

1. From the **Advanced Geometry Tools** menu in the Action bar, click the **Loft** tool. ![](https://193854745-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVWdttpiARClwDWoDArlA%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-1602ee6a1b16794658326732a059895dff35d3fe%2Floft-tool.png?alt=media)
2. Select the face or edges you want to loft on the first object.
