Cannot select profile for Form tool

I'm new to the Manufacture side of Fusion 360. I tried to follow the documentation on creating a custom form tool. I found a lot of outdated tutorials on how to do it, as it has evolved over the years, and the new process would seem to be this tutorial.

https://help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=Fusion_CAM_reference_tool_library_tool_library_ne...

I tested the profile, and can create a body of the tool with the revolve command, so the path is closed.

However, when I try to select my custom profile, it won't select, in fact I can't select any of the elements like the axis either. The dialog box just stares at me until I click cancel. Anyone want to help a manufacture noob out?

The profile is in blue.

we'll need to see the model to be certain.  Hard to say from just that image

Rookie mistake. I had cleaned up the profile prior to this step. My selection filter was set to sketch geometry only. I'm a bit embarrassed really.
