//! Utility to generate a polhedron by sweeping a 2D profile along a 3D path and utilities for generating paths.
//!
//! The initial orientation is the Y axis of the profile points towards the initial center of curvature, Frenet-Serret style.
//! Subsequent rotations use the minimum rotation method.
//!
//! The path can be open or closed. If closed sweep ensures that the start and end have the same rotation to line up.
//! An additional twist around the path can be specified. If the path is closed this should be a multiple of 360.
