     In general sweep would produce non-developable surfaces. We don't support converting those to sheet metal. Please contact support via feedback tool, then we could take a look at your geometry.

    Thanks Lana, I was able to use a revolve feature and that worked. I'm new and really like OnShape and appreciate all the help.
