Newbie Question about Sweep Surface
![sandmanmax](https://delorean.daz3d.com/forums/uploads/userpics/515/n15Q3BK1D6FMY.jpg)
I'm going through the documentation for Hexagon to get more familiar with the tools. I'm at the part describing the Sweep Surface tool. The video shows a cube with 2 tessellations (a 3 x 3 grid). They select the 4 corners and sweep, kind of like creating table legs upside down. In the video, all the little legs go out from the center in different directions. When I do it, all 4 go in the same direction. How do I change the behavior of this tool?

Before you perform the sweep, select the middle top polygon and move it up slightly. Once the 4 corner polygons(that you are going to sweep) are at different angles, you will get the sweep as you expect.
Thanks, worked for me too. I don't typically use the sweep tool, more of a fast extruder myself *grin* But this is good to know.
