SpaceClaim & Sweep/Pull

      Assume there are many lines in SpaceClaim, how can I sweep all of them and apply a certain section pattern at once?
      I know "pull" function, but when the lines are discontinous, this function can't apply a certain section pattern at once. It's suggested that create the same patterns at all the endpoints of lines and "pull" them one by one, which is so complicated.

      The Pull tool has a Sweep button that allows you to select a face to sweep along a trajectory.  The face becomes the cross-section of the sweep.  A surface can be created that has 3 faces.  Here is a surface selected with the Pull Tool and the Sweep Button pushed then the arc selected for the Trajectory.

      Here is the result:

        Actually, I think you misunderstand my attempt on the opposite. What I want is to sweep lots of different lines by a face, instead of sweep a line by creating several faces.
        For instance, as the figure below shows, there are splines of a simple truss. I want to sweep them by a section pattern(such as an "I-shaped" face). How can I sweep all of lines at once?
