Sweep: The Sweep profile may consist of a single or multiple chains, and they may be either open or
closed. Profile can also contain points. Open chains are swept only if there are no closed chains.
Similarly points are swept only if there are no open or closed chains in the profile. The sweep path may
be either an open or a closed chain, but there may only be one path. If the sweep path is an open chain,
then the endpoint of the path that lies closest to the profile(s) is chosen as the start vertex for the
Sweep operation.
