Twist in Blend???

Hey everyone,

I'm just learning to use Creo and am trying to do a blend between three sketched rectangles. However, I end up with a twist in the middle of the blend section.

I have been told to right-click a vertex of the last sketch and then slect "Start Point", however there doesn't seem to be an option for me to select.

I would greatly appreciate some help.

Thank you

Your selection and the direction of section entities is important.
If you wanted it straight, the selection of entities should be say top left, then clockwise.
Follow suit with the next sections. the result should be straight.

in your instance, in the third section of entity selection, it seems the top right was selected first then clockwise.
 
In the blend tool under the sections tab, select the section causing the twist and click the details button to the right. This opens a window with references and options. Pick the option tab then select the box under the "start point" and pick the new vertex you want to use then click ok.
