Hi. I am learning my way round the sweep. I have two sketches, Sketch One is a simple path in one plane. Sketch Two on another plane containing a circle. I sweep the circle in Sketch Two along the path in Sketch One. The problem I having is when I shell the swept body. The shell only works from one end, and stops short on the other end!?

Why is the sweep stopping just short of the end body?  
How can fix this please? I’d like the shell to reach the other end of the body!  
Thank you.

You should select both of ends, when you use the shell comand .  
No need for the inner circle, you can adjust the wall thickness with the shell tool.

Above is correct answer, but since you already SHELLED it utilize the History Panel.

You have Shell Selected open that panel in the history and you can add more faces also adjust the wall thickness.

Thank you both.  
@JST Will remember that next time using shell. 👍  
@SCALEMODEL Fixed it from the history 👍

Can tell you even more 🙂 If you select all faces you’ll get shell inside the body without holes.
