I tried unsuccessfully to create a lip around a curve surface and there is no flat plane to select for the sketch. Wonder if this could be done in Inventor. My version is 2011. Attached is the model which I need help.
- Thanks.

You have to better specify where do you want the lip. I was able to create a lip around the curved thickness face of solid you have provided, although it looks terrible and not like a lip - but this is because the lipped face is not perpendicular with its adjacent face.
Difficult to figure out what you are after.
Try this
Delete Sweep and Sketch 4.
Start a new 3D sketch and Include Geometry the entire sweep path.
Now Sweep.
Is that what you are after?
Thanks and that is exactly what I need. Realised the software is so friendly when there is someone who guide you along.
In 2012 the 3D sketch is no longer required - you can now select the edges directly for the sweep path.
