Sphere Sweep Doesn't allow to do a defined shape extrusion. We could imagine
taking a rectangle instead of a Sphere. The Finale shape will looks
facetized instead being round. Most of common meshes modelers will handle
that for you. I saw an example that explain how tedious it could be when you
have to code every triangle. And I have to use CSG on.

Please, take a look at http://www.uib.no/People/nfytn/tknottxt.htm and
http://www.uib.no/People/nfytn/tknotgif.htm from  Tore Nordstrand.

I didn't found any elegant way to do this without using commercial modelers.
Please, take a look at my project:
