I'm going to assume most of you when using the sweep node create a path which is facing in XY. Then you use that path as the cross section. This typical workflow can be difficult to get the cross section shape path to match that of the swept geometry, especially if the swept geometry is swept along the YZ.

How can I draw a path in YZ but when shaping the path in YZ (side view) have that reflect accurately to the path shape in the XY ?

I hope that was understood

If the sweep works as needed along XY then just use the old pre-transform, post-transform fix. By that I mean drop down a transform node to rotate to the axis that works then after the work is done “un-rotate” it back to your target axis.
