contents Harmonic maps are important in generating parameterizations for various domains, particularly in two and three dimensions. General extensions of two-dimensional harmonic parameterizations for volumetric parameterizations are known to fail in a variety of contexts, though more specialized volumetric parameterizations have been proposed. This work provides and contextualizes a counterexample to various proposed proofs that employ harmonic maps to sweep a parameterization from a base surface, $Γ_0$, to the entire domain of a geometry that is homeomorphic to $Γ_0\times[0,1]$ or $Γ_0\times S^1$. While this does not negate the potential value of such topological sweep parameterizations, it does clarify that these swept parameterizations come with no inherent guarantees of bijectivity, as they may in two dimensions.
