Hi

Am am struggling with a solid sweep, which keeps on giving errors. The profile it uses along the sweep path keeps on rotating. It is basically a circular spiral curve that moves in the vertical direction as per the attached image, using the elliptical profile. I have tried sweeping with two guide rails above and below profile centerlines, but also gives errors. Is there a more effective way to keep the profile orientated vertically?

Thanks!

Yes - multiple guide rail and multiple profiles.
