Greetings.

I’m currently working on this guide rail to loft. I’m sure the rails intersect in a correct way as I connected them with the guide points. However the “ Guide curve’s vertices incorrectly intersect with profile vertices.” message always pop up. How can I fix it? Thanks

Ok so I found out that the guide points aren’t actually touching the vertices of interest. However, why is this a thing?

When you drew the initial sketch, you probably drew the line and it didn’t constrain to the line that you wanted it to.

Sometimes if the loft isn’t working, redrawing the sketches usually fixes it.

Thanks for the advice I did redraw the sketch and it works the second time!
