Solid Sweep not working as expected

I'm trying to cut a solid body with another solid body. The issue is that it will only allow cutting downwards, not up at all. The behaviour seems also odd, if I drag the slider on the path upwards, it will cut down. If you drag it down, it will give an error as seen in the picture. BUT, if you drag it up high enough, the preview will show it will cut up - also visible in the picture. However, it still actually cuts down if you click OK.

The unit for distance is also very odd. I cant put millimeters in it (it will just turn red), and it also does not look like any percentage value.

Yes, I know I can just move my cutting body up to get this done, but then I wont be able to see how the tool (socket extension in this case) looks like in its place.

Thank you, that indeed did solve it! And very thoughtful of you to also show the offset tool 😁
