You can see pretty simple, points are connected to the middle of the 3MM dots. Just trying to make a handle on something…Not sure why a circular body along a path would be invalid.

You can help it a little with another profile and properly connected guild line.

I’ve graduated to Fault detected in wire guide. I re-setup the loft again, with the helper in the middle, again all points are connected and that error came up. Prob not much else you can do to assist since you made a working example, idk why it wont work for me. I forgot how frustrating I find these lofts.

I had connected the top shape at the same diameter as the lower circle, for some reason that caused a fault. I shrunk taht one to 2.5 up top and it completed the curve. I’ll try to keep that in mind for the future.

Loft is very powerful tool but you have to feel its needs 🙂

Hard to understand what exactly you’ve done wrong from your screenshot I tried to reproduce and everything went without errors:

Maybe if you share your project I can tell more.
