Trouble creating ring with Sweep and scale

[sleepygreen]

Hey Everyone - I’m trying to create a ring shape using the sweep tool, sweeping along half of a circular path (representing the ring’s circumference). I want the ring to have a graduated thickness, so I mirrored the shape and scaled the bottom half. (See attached photos.)

The problem is, it’s warping the shape and creating sharp, pointy edges. Is there a way to avoid this distortion? And keep the shape totally flush?

Thanks in advance!

You can use loft and instantly get result like this

Or play with guide lines and profiles and make it ever smoother.

Thanks for your reply!

Tbh I tried lofting and mine didn’t look anything like that lol. I must be missing something - any chance you could share a screen recording of what you did?
