Pulling my hair out over here, just trying to make a
simple sweep. I created a datum curve from points to go
from one surface to another. These surfaces are at
different heights and the normal direction of the
beginning surface and ending surface are 90
you can control the section orientation of the sweep by dimensioning it relative to fixed references outside the section. these dimensions along with sketch constrains you make inside the section sketch, are maintained along the path, and gives you the ability to control your sweep. upload a picture, or better the file itself to get more help.
If you are using the old Sweep function, I would change it to a Variable Section Sweep. You can still create a simple sweep with better controls and the standard (dashboard) interface.
Under the Options tab select Constant section and you will get a Merge ends option.
I also had this issue using VSS on a curve in 3D space.
In my situation, I used a graph to control the VSS.
Through trial and error, this method was very effective.
