In this tip, we quickly explore a method for sweeping multiple cross-sections of wire along a Spline. Using a SweepNURBS object, we adjust the End rotation parameter and end up with a twisted structure.
Later on in the video, we also look into the Spline properties that allow us to effectively twist the cables while still maintaining enough subdivisions for a smooth and glitch-free appearance.
Please leave me any feedback that you’d like to add, and if you enjoyed this video, you should share my Five Minute Tips section with your friends. I’m sure they’ll appreciate it.
Thanks for watching!

When I make the connect object (with the circles) and arrange the connect
object and the spline in the sweep nurbs, nothing happens. What am I doing
wrong?
