Can you provide at least a picture of what you're attempting? Better yet would be an actual simply example file.

Is it possiblt to show a picture of what you are explaining?
 
It's still not clear exactly what it is that you're attempting to do.

the green face are the result, the profile without positioning should run/ guided at the blue face edges( Führung) the light blue face are given faces. In Nx I have to position/transform the profile at/to the guide, ... or is there a solution I don't know - Hope you'll understand.

OK, I think I uderstand now, and YES, the profile has to be positioned relative to the guide curve as you would like the profile to be swept. Note that it does NOT actually have to be positioned ON the guide curve, but it MUST be positioned so that when it is swept that it's 'part' of the surface that you desire.

I hope that's clear as to what I mean.

Our friend John isn't up to date here.
The (Amazing-) Styled Sweep feature can do the desired. See attached image.
( But it might not divide the new surface(s) as in your image. - It probably has to approximate the sweep. )

I have tried the styled sweep, but without success, I'm fighting the many options (to take care)
