Scott,
The last change you made has caused a problem with the geometry. Most likely a sliver surface has been created. The thing you must do is modify the geometry to eliminate the problem.
WF 2.0 has been greatly improved in this area and will actually gloss over trouble areas (with your permission). You did not say what version you are using, but it would be rare for WF 2.0 to give you this type of problem.
First thing I would do is increase or decrease some radii slightly, and try again. If that doesn't work, then you might have to go ahead and try to find the problem area then make your geometry change according to what you discover. There are a couple of ways to do this.
One way is to take the model into Independent Mode and try a SHELL mesh. If successful, then turn the display of all shells off but leave the points displayed. Look for a glob of points (Yellow). Zoom in, and you will see the problem. If the shell mesh is not successful, it will most likely halt and tell you the "Highlighted Area" is causing a problem. At that point, you will have to pan and zoom around until you see a red curve. Sometimes these are hard to find.
After that, go back to ProE and fix the problem.
With Integrated Mode, it is more difficult to find these areas. You have to look around (in hidden line mode) carefully at your last feature for a tiny tiny sliver surface. Sometimes they are so small, that you have to really zoom up close and pan a lot. Use logic to understand where what you did would cause surfaces to intersect and/or overlap.
