Failure to Sweep on Path

Hello, Me and my Co-Worker have been struggling to sweep this Donut Shaped Sketch Across these 11 Paths Successfully.

Can someone Help us figure this out?

Thanks.

Do you need one solid body or 11 individual bodies?

What version of Inventor?

Originally we were attempting for 1 Solid Body. But We Hadn't Considered Multiple Bodies.

Is it possible to do both?

How are you going to manufacture that?

It doesn't make sense to me that you would sweep as a "donut" sketch rather than Sweep all and the Shell (not that that is going to work either in 2014).

Is it Possible to do this without the use of multiple bodies?

We tried this. It didn't work.

There is not a way to achieve what you would like unless you use multi bodies. Eventually you could get surfaces for all 11 and then start with the cutting and stitching commands to get a outline of the desired part. Then a sculpt command could be used. This is just a theory to get to the desired result but there is a lot of edit time prior to using the Sculpt command.

Don
