Fusion 360 Loft = Boundary Boss/Base in Solidworks ?

Hello guys,

I hope somebody will be able to help me. My question to you is: Is Loft function in Fusion 360 equivalent to Boundary Boss/Base in Solidworks?

I think it is not...

Please see below which problem I have.

I am trying to design a jetpump. I was following this tutorial which is for Solidworks, but I tried to recreate it in Fusion 360: LINK

Now I stumbled upon a problem. I designed the same sketch in Fusion 360 and Solidworks. And when I try to loft it in Fusion 360 and boundary boss it in solidworks I get 2 different outcomes. The outcome should be the same? At least I think so.

Please see the difference between the 2 objects (bear in mind sketches are the same in both software):

- Solidworks:

Nice, smooth curvature "on the back"

And now Fusion 360:

Here in Fusion you can see the back is not as nice and straight as it is in Solidworks, but you get some kind of a "sinkhole" in the middle while the edge is lifted a bit. All in all, it does not follow the curve I sketched...

Can somebody please help me to get the same result as I am getting in Solidworks? Is that even possible?

Thank you for your help in advance!

The tutorial lofts between a radiused rectangle to a circle.

Yours does not loft from a radiused rectangle.
