Sweep 1 Problem

I had my work done with Sweep 1 rail like this picture


Sweep 1 freeform

But outcome has problem overlapping itself and some problem like ( the yellow line is the curve that was used to sweeped)


Can anyone help me please

I tried Extract Isocurve the model but i dont know what to do next

If anyone could help me thanks

As you can well see, it is geometrically impossible! The curve (rail) in some places is very narrow, and the section curve (rectangle, in your case) can not curve perfectly, if not auto-intersect.

I would suggest a different approach.

Relying on Rhino to guess where your surfaces should be all along your twisting single rail is likely to fail like you described.

My first suggestion is to copy your profile curve and use the orient tools to place it everywhere you want it to be in a specific orientation.
When you do the sweep, make sure the seam line follows the appropriate point of your profile so it doesn’t twist over itself.

You also have a bigger problem that your rail has some tight turns that force your profile curve to self-intersect. That will never give satisfactory results.
Either make the curves in your rail bigger, or make special smaller profile curves that will sweep cleanly without self-intersecting.
