LOFT error or glitch in Inventor 2015

Having trouble with a loft, which serves as a weld chamfer for a plug/fill weld.  Two similar sections, but not quite complete offsets of each other - not sure if this is what's making it fail or "twist" as shown below:

Can  you attach the *.ipt file?

 

Is your sketch for the extrusion fully defined?

Does it have appropriate Tangent Constraints?

 

One possible solution -

Fillet

Delete Face
Patch

Stitch

 

Another possible solution -

manual control of the loft point to point mapping.

I've attached the IPT file.

 

I've poked and prodded different settings in the Loft feature, but nothing seemed to smooth out the resultant chamfer surface.

Do you see the attachement here (I don't)?

 

Try a different browser (IE and Chrome).

 

Try right clicking on the filename and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder and attaching the resulting *.zip file.

I seemed to have fixed this twisted, convoluted surface by Delete Face, then Stitch.  Thanks for your help, and sorry about the un-attached attachments.  Microsoft...  'Nuff said.
