Slight problem with sweeping surfaces in X5

[cloverfield333]

can someone help me with this sweep? I am trying to get this shape to sweep in a shape of a "G" that i made but i can't get it to go along the "G" curve. Can someone help me or explain to me what i am doing wrong?

Thanks can you go over the steps that you took to get that shape? Also is there a way to get the shape like a cavity?

Only 3 steps
1. from top drop down menu: create,surface,sweep
2. select the arc or shape that you want the surface to be. Across contour.
3. then select the course you want the surface to follow, ie the G. Along contour

To make it a cavity:
when selecting the shape (across contour) do a partial chain, or just delete the top line.

Have fun
