Lofting rail issue

Hey Folks - this lofting issue is driving me insane. Got two profiles and 2 rails between them. Both rails are attached to intersecting points on the profiles. Loft failing for the lack of "intersecting of profiles" with rails. Please help.

Nothing that I can tell.

As near as I can tell the problem was with Fusion getting closed profile from Form1.

Just went through your method - so did you also find it impossible to simply loft with those two rails?

I couldn't even get a Loft without rails.

Weird thing is at one point I did have a loft (between bodies, not sketches), but then when I when to make Start and End Tangent it failed.

Tried several other things and was never able to get it to Loft again.

You can adjust the Weights on the Handles of my Spline as needed.
