Sweep gives strange result

Hello,

I'm trying to make a sweep, but I can't get it to work anymore. As a test I made two lines with a fillet that I joined to a polyline. Then I placed a circle a the start of the path (although previously I didn't even have to put there, anywhere would be fine).

Now when I sweep and select the polyline as path and the circle as entity to sweep I end up with this:

What am I missing?

    Hello.

    The 3D model looks like the circle was set as the path and the polyline was set as the profile.
    In this case, the profile, meaning the polyline, is revolved 360 degrees around an axis passing through the circle center.

    If the purpose is to create a tubular model, the circle should be the profile and the polyline should be the path.

    😖 You are absolutely right. I should have read better. I did indeed select them in the wrong order. It works as expected now. Thanks!
