Has anybody a message prompt stated cannot create sweep and/ or cannot join sweep message when you create multiple joined curved/ arc/ straight joint path lines in solid and void sweep?

Why is the limitation here? sometime it works but most time it fails! I was planning to use this to chamfer some of my furniture family on the edge but come to a roadblock here

Thanks in advance

I have run across this several times, and for several different reasons I might add.  The most common is that the profile comes to close to the edge (tangential to one or more surfaces) of a solid being cut, and same issue can occur with all types of Void geometries.  This is particularly true when the profile is also curved and is being swept along a curved path or along a curved solid geometry.  The other most common cause for this is that the profile is larger then the radius of the curved path. I.E. you are trying to chamfer off 3" and your sweep radius is only 2".

HTH.
