I’m following the procedure [shown here](https://youtu.be/DWv7JP16UuI) and every time I select the Follow Me tool and select the new/perpendicular circle, it always gives me a hollow, partial sphere with the top and bottom cut off. What am I doing wrong?

The geometry is too small, scale it up before the follow me and it will work. You can search for the Dave method to get another helpful method to prevent this.
