Hi all,

I’m struggling to “Loft?” one sketch to another, they are slightly different sizes to produce a a slight trapezoid, smaller at the bottom than the top.

Top rectangle is 800 x 500 and bottom 792 x 486.

 ![2024-03-04_22-43-52](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/a/1/a1696f47fcc5696f4687658b8cd5e9300fb8df01.jpeg)

Am I doing something wrong, or is there not a method?

Thanks.

As far as I know, you cannot loft a sketch that is not entirely closed. Your ‘closed’ sketch has two internal openings. Not allowed.

Why don’t you do a normal extrude, then on one surface do a non-uniform scale. Here I start with a box of overall size of 800 x 500.
