Sculpt Room: Swept N Gener. How do I add more than 2 profile curves?

[DMG]

I think the title pretty much asks my question.

In the sculpt room, I can create two curves to use as guides, then select two curves as profiles. But the tooltip and manual suggest that 'N' number of curves can be used as profiles and I can't see where or how to add more than two. 

Cheers,

Derek

ive tried .... so many times to use these tools and cant work them out at all... 

theres like no description of use

Yeah, it seems like it should be simple or obvious, but isn't. 

I can't get the "Add Loop Direction Line" to do anything either (other than show a magenta ball when I click on a curve).  I'm guessing there's some secret combination of right-click or middle-click or something which unlocks the rest of the functionality.

Unfortunately, this tool turned out to be inconvenient to use and needs to be improved.

problem is i cant find any good tutorials on this tool either... so for me its just confusing , loft tools are great if they work so an improved version would be amazing

but at the same time .. whatever you make with them tools .. you could do it faster using the cut off tools or booleans ..,

That's a shame.  I think it has great potential, and if there was some way of getting the functionality from the Modelling room across to Sculpt, that'd be great.

Mostly. I needed to make a handle with changing profiles yesterday, and I the Sweep with multiple generators would have been the best/fastest way to do it whilst retaining control over the shape, and being able to modify it until I was satisfied. Except it wasn't the fastest, because it didn't work.

The tutorial didn't have SWEPT N GENERATOR on it, because it was a tutorial series showing a range of new modeling tools. I hope this helps:
