Sweep direction problem (chain Select Bug)

There seems to be a bug with sweep as it gets confused with rail direction

 

turning off chain select often fixes

Thanks for posting about this! I can reproduce it and will log this with the development team for further review. 

 

Seem pretty easy to work around, but I'm not sure why the direction flips that way. Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks!

Thank you for pointing out this problem!

In the "sketch 11", all the projected arc curves are not in sketch plane. They are 3D sketch entities.

If you select the arc curve as profile. Sweep command will use its parent sketch's normal as profile normal. This normal is perpendicular to path's direction which is illegal for sweep computing. Currently all the profile-based commands have similar problem. We will try fix it.

Please use new sketch to project the arc curves to avoid the weird result.

Thank you!
