First, YES--I did a search and found this from an AU class and it looks like I'm already doing exactly as the instructor said to do (although the name I assigned to my reference plane is different).

I created a reference plan that I called Leg Front. Then while in front elevation view, I drew what is to be the centerline of myU shaped tubular leg. I've made sure that the linework is in fact on the Leg Front workplane.
When I create my sweep, I choose the path and it all looks good so far. Then I sketch the tube start point in plan view. Still looks good.
But when I try to save the sweep, it fails with the error message of "Can't create sweep". It would be helpful if it would tell me WHY because I have no idea.

I figured this out. 🙂 It looks like the tube radius was too big as compared to the radius of the fillets at the bottom of each side of the leg (where it meets the cross-piece).
