Sweep1 across multiple rails?

Some basic testing: I want the wireframe of this cube, to be used as a frame, for whatever target curve


But it doesn’t seem to work properly… and by googling I coudnt find much yet

you should provide each sweep-rail its own -in this case perpendicular- section circle

as rule of thumb with Sweep, if you have n sections and n rails:

the sweep is built on the section, regardless of where the rail is:


in case sections are Circles I would very much consider using Pipe instead (expecially for the Cap options)

the problem this way, is that if I get any complexer shape than a cube, the I should get somehow right the correct association between rail and section

I was trying this way


But it doesnt quite work either way…

this means that you need to build (or orient) the section curve at the start of each rail

in your last image you are providing one single section with many rails:

try something like this:
