Sweep

[spano.dom]

Hi, in sketch 32 and 33 I am trying to use the sweep command to make a cut profile but keep on getting the error a region of the path is parallel with the swept profile. Any workarounds with this to get it to cut the profile?

which parts of the sketches are you using as path and profile?

the profile and path took a couple of screenshots

in this case, the error message is exactly correct.  at the beginning and end of your path the arcs are tangent to the plane of the profile.  even if the sweep had worked, the results wouldn't have been what you expected.

in most cases for sweep, it's best ensure the profile is normal to the path.  in your case you may need to use a loft.

The warning message is correct. The profile cannot be tangent to  the path. This can be done easily with an extrude and sweep using and edge created by the extrusion.

Model is attached.
