Hi there!

I’m new to Shapr3d and cannot to seem to create a solid object using the loft tool. I’ve searched on the forum and found this link. [Dealing with complex curvature - #9 by PEC](https://discourse.shapr3d.com/t/dealing-with-complex-curvature/17536/9)

But I’m still having trouble making this test shape. Please help. Thank you very much

Since I’m a new user, I cannot add my shapr file to this post.

Is this what you are trying to achieve?  
If so, you won’t need that intermediate horizontal sketch, which adds some complexity to do a loft.
