I’m trying to loft two surfaces,  
One surface is a union of 5 lofted pieces and the other a union of 6 lofted pieces.  
The loft I’m getting is a little wierd. How do I fix this?

What you are trying to do, you are lucky it lofted at all. Maybe if you left the union of 5 pieces separate and lofted them to the 6 using copies, then used a boolean operations and merged them… Loft A to C, then loft a copy of A to B, use the boolean to merge them? Repeat as needed?

Tip? make your copies first. Move them a know distance away so they are easy to return and not in the way?

OH! Something very important about shapr is sometimes the order in which you attempt to make things happen can affect success! I run into this often!
