I am making a fan guard for a manufacturer that makes grills for air conditioners. I created a disk, and then created a stem useing two profiles in a sweep. I am really dombfounded as to why I cannot simply do a circular pattern around the disk. I have tried many remidies. Ive tried making a solid body underneath the disk and patterning it first just to see if it would remidy it. And then pattern the stem. It gave me a zero thickness geometry error. Before it gave me erroe messages such as disjointed, or cannot merge bodies, and deselect geometry pattern. Sometime it is patterned in the preview, but then the patterned stems(parts) are invisible. Also tried adjusting the path, and disk, so that the two parts are somewhat buried. Nothing. So what is going on? Also tried Extruding disk other than revolving it.

Thank you for your help
