error in wainscoat sweep profile

[3dsketcher]

this is probably a simple answer but for some reason i can't bring in this simple profile as a wall sweep. it gives me an "invalid compound structure"

ive decided instead of adding too many wall types, im just adding different wall sweeps esp that these sweeps do not go the full length of the wall. so rather than create stacked walls, ill use the same wall the full height and just add a sweep.

but im so far unsuccessful in creating my own. i've compared them to the library profiles but can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.

The problem is your profile needs to be a single closed loop. The line dividing the base from the upper portion is fouling things up.

You may have to place the upper and lower portions as two separate sweeps. You can lock/align them after placing so they move with eachother.


(edit)
I've attached another possible solution using a single line for your profile.

that was it! thanks dimitri.

actually, im using your suggestion so that i only have to deal with 1 profile.
