3D spline sweep without profile twist

So I created a single 3D sketch spline and tried to sweep it but it twist in a undesirable way. How do i make it keep its orientation throughout the path?

I also tried creating two separate 2D sketches for the two levels and connecting them with a 3D spline, but could not set a tangent constraint between the 3D spline and both sketches.

 

Is there a better way to do this?

Hi! Yes, this can be done very easily. Edit the Sweep feature -> select Path&Guide Surface option -> pick Workplane1 as the guide.

Many thanks!

Thank you very much, didn't know that a surface could be used like that.
