Hi I was wondering if there is a better way to make this heart shape other than using the sweep feature and if sweep is the best way how do I connect the parts without overlap?

Use sweep, but draw the centreline of the sweep not the outside. You could do it all in one feature without mirror.

Make one side, split at the center plane and mirror it. Pay attention to when circles become ellipses: Put the circles on planes normal to sweep path. For more help: Post a public link.

I have posted a public link, but instead of it being half of the circle I would like to try and make it the full circle is that possible?
