Sweep 2 Problem

Sweep 2 Problem:

I have attached a Grasshopper definition, a Rhino file and a screen-shot of the problem area. Essentially I have a set of curves constructed from points. In one instance I was able to use the Swp2 button to successfully sweep between 2 rail curves using 1 section curve. In the other instance with the same section curve and 2 different rail curves, the Swp2 button does not produce a surface, (as you can see the button also does not show signs of error). Have I hit a bug, have I missed some crucial step or piece of input?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Eli

    try inverting your connections, connect the item as r1, the bzspan as r2, and the curve on the S input, and flatten the item, it worked when i tried it,

      I also had this issue..another step that came up was the order and first point which the curves were made. If they are not aligned, the sweep2 component will turn grey with no errors...but no output either.

      Just add the flip component to one of your rails and it will resolve.

      just another thing that may go wrong with the sweep2 command.
