Swept Cut

I am working in Wildfire 2, I am trying to create a worm gear. I am having trouble creating the threads on the od of the wheel. I have created a helical surface using VSS, and I have created a cut using a the sweep cut, and the VSS surface as my trajectory, however when I try to change the profile of my sweep section I keep getting errors about section not intersection the part. Tips, hints on creating the cut setion of a sweep would be helpful.


Thanks
 
extend the cut feature and/or surface beyond the solid gemetry on both the faces(front & back) of your worm gear.


i think it is not crossing/touching the end faces ofthe solid geometry
