Sweep2 should both rails have same dir, ditto profiles

Hi,
V5,
looked in help section sweep2 rhino v5
cant see data on following.

Should both rails have dir running in same direction ?
should both profiles have dir running in same direction ?
What is good practice or essential to avoid problems later on if not immediate ?

I am altering my sweeps to be as such but wondered if it was necessary.

If I take a rectangle and extrude it to make a solid, then explode and delete one side then DupEdge to sweep2 it, the dir’s are opposite direction for the rails and the profiles, yet it had a surface prior to this.

Is there a command to select two curves and have it make dir same, flipping one if need be ? all in one action rather than select then dir then deselect then select then flip.

Cheers

Steve

sweep1 or 2 works making surfaces. not solids, how the program could know which direction you want?

No, this is not necessary, Rhino tries to figure out how it should be.

You can flip curves while inside the Dir command by clicking on them.
