Cannot select sketch profiles to sweep

tedbradley314 — Tue, 13 Apr 2021 23:49:45 GMT

Hi, I'm trying to edit a sweep feature I made earlier. Please see video attached.

The sweep feature says "missing profiles" but the feature is not showing up as yellow in the timeline.
The sketch does not seem to be recognizing closed loops, not in my custom shape or a simple rectangle (closed loop doesn't become shaded).
I cannot select my closed shape from the sketch, even though the feature does seem to recognize it.
My "selection filters" has all options selected.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

"Show Profiles" is turned off on this sketch - turn it back on, and you should see the profile.

Sure enough, that's all it took. Thanks Jeff.

It'd be great if we could update this help article. It says to create a new sketch if the problem persists, whereas in my case all I had to do what check the "show profile" box.

very good point, @tedbradley314 - thanks for the link to that help topic. It looks a bit dated, and there are several improvements that could be made to it, such as this one.
