Works just fine. You need to select correctly. That's all.

I think you redraw the binder. Its not the purpose of my post. If we can use the binder for pad, why not for a sweep or a loft.

As TheMarkster already pointed up you need to select the Face of the Binder and not the Binder itself:

I did not redraw anything. I merely created a simple path and used the Pipe operation. Worked fine.

Thinking about that, why to not give the same workflow like others shapes, I mean select the shapebinder and then launch the sweep command?
The selection workflow is tricky if the body has not any shape inside (starting a new shape)
