What do I need to do to fix my sweep that comes up red?
I have a sweep, and OnShape tells me it can not generate geometry, but i see a bunch of red highlighted geometry that looks correct. Is there any way to fix my geometry to make this sweep work?
Here is the sweep I am trying to do. And a document link is bellow:

The sweep path you are choosing has non-tangent joins between entities. I think it's going to have a very hard time following this and at the same time dealing with the lock direction you have specified. Can you do something a bit smoother with those curves you are extracting from Sketches 30, 31 etc?
Yes, I managed to get it to work useing multiple sweeps and a loft. Thank you for your help, and so while I was unable to solve this sweep itself i still got the result I needed. Do i mark this as a solution?
