Help with sweep (I think?) along curve

Not sure what I'm needing to do here. Electrical drafter at work, just started messing with 360 for fun. I'm needing to scallop the curved surface at a 19.5 degree angle the entire length of the piece. Various sweep attempts have got me close, but nothing I've tried completely works. Any help would be much appreciated thanks!

Looks concentric to me, sketch the side panel, and Revolve 19.5 degrees.  I will check the file later.

 

Might help.....

That curved surface is created form an imported sketch . The individual sketch objects are only near tangent, but not fully tangent toward each other. If you re-draw that curve with a fit point spline (should not require more than 3 fit points!) then the sweep will likely succeed.

I would also recommend that you fully define (constrain and dimension) all non-spline sketch objects.

Thanks! The problem was the curve I imported from inkscape. Following your advice, I re-imported the curved path, traced with 3P spline, deleted import. After that I was allowed to sweep with path+guide rail and accomplished exactly what I was trying all day to do!
