I should have been a little more precise with that description - the way the sweep rail selection goes is like this:

1 rail selected = 1 rail sweep along that rail.

2 rails selected = 2 rail sweep using those rails - this is the "diameter" style that you are seeing, it's for having the profiles stretch out along 2 differently shaped rails.

3+ rails selected = 1 rail sweep along each individual rail.


I didn't mention it previously because it looked like your case was using more than 2 rails.
