Do you have the section mode "constant" specified?

Re: [Feature Request] 3D sketches
Yes, Transform mode is set to Constant. I tried changing Corner Transition and it's a bit better when I set it to Round Corner but it still doesn't look correct as there is some overlap in one corner:
At least Part module Sweep works fine.

Re: [Feature Request] 3D sketches
maybe check out Arch_Pipe and friends?
btw, why a part/bool on lines from draft, why not one of draft/join, draft/wire, draft/upgrade?

Re: [Feature Request] 3D sketches
Looks like the profile isn't correctly centered on the path.
BTW, 3D sketch seems not good to me as the principle of a sketch is to use constraints. And doing so in 3D would just be a mess.
Re: [Feature Request] 3D sketches
I attached a file here:
I didn't use Draft workbench for this. For the path, I made two sketches in Part Design module (second one starting from the ending point of the first one and lying on a perpendicular plane). Then I applied boolean union (Part workbench) to them. The third sketch (profile for sweep) was created as a circle starting from the initial point of the first sketch and again on a perpendicular plane. It should be centered.
Arch Pipe tool is an interesting option too. I'll give it a try.

Re: [Feature Request] 3D sketches
give dodo workbench a try. It is not 3D sketcher but might help a lot for what you would like to have a 3D sketcher. Flamingo_Workbench
Re: [Feature Request] 3D sketches
if you need software transitions SILK WB could help making that 3D sketch or curve WB Blend Curve in case dodo is not what you need.

Re: [Feature Request] 3D sketches
or just use "fillet radius" on a wire...
Re: [Feature Request] 3D sketches
I thought that 3D sketches prepared in the Draft Workbench can't be used as sweep paths but it seems that it's possible to utilize them this way. Here's an example:
and the workflow to complete it:
1) create a new body
2) draw the lines in Draft Workbench (I used polyline tool for that to get a single wire as a result and to avoid the need to use boolean union), apply a radius to them
3) define datum plane normal to the first line, sketch a profile for sweep on this plane
4) use the sweep tool in Part Workbench with solid=true
