Hi gunter, is it possible for you to post an attachment with your 3DM model file in it rather than only screenshots? It's a lot easier to examine a model file to see what you might be running into.
Are you doing a one-rail sweep or a two rail sweep?
For something like that you'd want to do a 2 rail sweep, with the profile curve for the sweep like this:
And then 2 rails going up something similar to this (shown separated here for illustration):
If your vertical curve is currently just one single curve, you can use Edit > Trim to cut it into 2 pieces so it will be configured for 2 rails like I show above. Select it and run Edit > Trim and then click the "Add trim points" button and add a trim point at the spot to cut it.
Another possibility for a cap like that is to use rail revolve, for that you have a profile and bottom rail like this:
You select the profile there, run Construct > Revolve > Rail revolve, select the rail path and then pick the revolve axis which you want to pick dropping down from the tip of the profile curve. That will then make a cap by pivoting the profile around the axis and stretching it to follow the rail path as it pivots.
Also in some cases the new Construct > Nsided command can be used for putting on a rounded cap as well.
