Loft between 3D sketch and normal sketch

I have a cylinder on top of a curved surface; I want to make the cylinder land adaptively to the surface, so I projected the circular face of the cylinder in the surface, which ended up being a 3D sketch. I tried to loft a solid between both curves, but it always gives me errors. Some examples are:

  • The attempted operation did not produce a meaningful result. Try with different inputs.
  • Multiple disjoint loops found in a profile section.

I have attached a test case.

 

I have had success when trying to do the same thing with curved surfaces in two dimensions only (e.g. extruding a 2D curve), but I think the error is produced since the curved face I am trying to use belongs to an elipsiod.

Here is a new version, with dimensions on sketch 1.
