swept extrusion on oval path?
Please see the attached files, I'm trying to create a swept extrusion on an oval path with different shapes? I've tried a few of the Surface tools but have not figured out how to do it. Maybe I need to come at it from a different angle? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I would say you have too much geometry and you cant sweet on a guide curve that is closed the ellipse it need to be a quarter of that total profile or try use the dome function

well look at the actual top solid file your guide curve is fine you got a segment there but your profile it does not seem to like thicken curve

I would say you want to use the patchwork function
