This command creates a 3D mesh, corresponding to a profile extrusion along a path.
Select only a profile: in this case, you will have to select a path inside the command
Select first a profile and then a path: in this case, nothing can be selected inside the command
Both profile and path can be a polyline, a CAD wire, a CAD curve, or a linear geometry.

Check Close extremities, if you want a closed mesh as output
This option is available only if the profile is planar and closed, and if the path is not closed
Check Make perpendicular to the path if you want the profile to extrude to be perpendicular to the first vector of the path.
To be relevant, this option must be used when the profile is roughly perpendicular to the path.
Check Turn with the curve if you want the shape to be oriented according to the curve all along the path.
Check Lean on a path if you want to select a second path in order to fix the last degree of freedom not constrained during the extrusion: the rotation along the path.
Check Set profile as starting position if you want the extrusion to start at the profile position instead of path position.
Validate the command by clicking on OK, display the result by clicking on Preview or close the command dialog by clicking on Cancel.
