Surface patching

Can somebody please help me as to why I am not able to patch the top section of this body? I was able to patch the bottom layer, but getting errors with the top.

Fusion does the calculations, but when I click on OK is when I get the error

When you have a situation like this, I always restore to creating a new edge, via a sketch, to create the desire patch. When I did this I found the error in the joining edges at the location shown below. I completed the sketch, using a coincident between the two points, added the patch, stitched to all together and you have your solid. You modified model is attached by a different name.

There are so many ways to skin the cat! I scanned the edges for awhile but had to turn to a sketch using the "divide and conquer method to find the break. My eyes are getting to old to follow all those complicated edges. I like your more direct method.

Same to you! thank you. I spend almost 4 hours try to figure this out, but I suppose if I didnt know what to look for, it could have taken for ever 😀
