I'm trying to model in-place>profile>sweep to make wood trim for corner boards, skirt boards, gable end trim, etc. and I keep getting an error that I can't figure out.
My frustration is that just a couple of days ago I did this and it worked. Now it won't work.
I'm using model in-place>profile>sweep - OK; sketch path or pick path (around a trap. window for example) - OK; select profile & adjust flip and angle - OK; edit plane (if needed) - OK (looks great at this point); hit Finish Model button - NO OK - I get an error box w/ 2 errors: 1) Can't regenerate Family "Profile 1". Edit Family to modify it. 2) Profile type "Profile 1:Profile 1" contains no loops.
It doesn't matter which profile I pick - whether it's one that I made (which is really simple, just 2x sizes) or a stock OOTB shape, I get the same message.
It doesn't matter if I make a single straight line, a couple of lines, or a closed polygon. Same message.
Once I get the profile set, before I hit the Finish Model button, the sweep looks great. But when I hit the button, the error pops up and I either have to delete it or press cancel and go back to editor mode.
I've used the wall sweep tool - both horizontal and vertical - with the same profile, and it works. But I need to create sloped trim, hence the model in-place sweep.
What am I missing? Thanks much in advance. mpp
