180-deg twist in sweep

$

Hi, all. I just realized there is a problem in Creo in handling 180 rotation while sweeping along a circular section. I was trying to create a Mobius with 180-deg twist but the sweep feature failed miserably. After many attempts, I managed to model out the geometry through a few different ways:

1. Toroidal bend.

The sweep is done through a straight line before bending it to 360-deg by Toroidal bend.

 

2. Split sweep.

Sweep is performed twice, along  half circle each time.

 

3.  Projected sweep

The single trajectory is extracted from a helical sweep created prior to it.

 

I am sure many of you have come across the similar problem before. I am attaching my proe file here with the hope that I can learn your workarounds  too. Many thanks in advanced for your sharing.
