How to sweep that profile to have it without errors?
What is best way to do that? Loft, sweep, rail revolve?

Blend between two extruded "semi-circle" edges looks good, but is not precisely on the line.

Hi mdesign, to get a sweep without errors the profile curve can't extend a distance further than the radius of curvature of the bend.

For your case here that means the length away from the rail can't be larger than about this much:



One possibility though is to do the sweep that folds over itself, then use Edit > Trim with the "Isocurve" option to cut out the messy section:



Then you can put in a Blend there:

Brilliant. Thanks for help. So I needed to use that bad geometry to create a good one. Wise :)
