    Loft command not working for a cut?? Any suggestions

    Hi

    I am following the U-Tube exercise called "Emergency Light (Cabinet) volume 1".

    I am at time stamp 1 hour 26 minutes, exactly.

    In the video they use a Loft command in order to cut a shape out of two sketches numbered 10 & 11.

    I have been copying exactly and am having difficulty at this stage of the model.

    Is there any reason why I am managing to use the Loft command earlier perfectly but not at this point.

    I would appreciate any help from anyone.

    Kind regards

    A CAD Student.

    Change everything that is projected in Sketch10 to construction linetype.

    Are you sure two of those corners in Sketch11 are not supposed to be filleted?

    Were those two fillets I added supposed to be there as I suspected?
