So that's going to involve drawing a profile and a path to complete the Sweep function and so let's go ahead and set up that profile and path and we'll see how that's done. So back in the inventor screen here and I'm going to select new part and we're going to save this as ring support, that ought to do. Okay, we're going to start a new sketch. And the first sketch, we're going to select on XZ and it is going to be a simple circle. And looking back real quick, I'm just going to place this arbitrarily, let's take a look.
