There are plenty of video tutorials you can search.

I knew this command in Cad. I did but not the same . you can show me clearly

Please take a look at this recording.

The face isn't the same plane (You know what i mean.?)

LOFT.  Unlike SWEEP, it lets you define the specific orientation [and even different shapes/sizes/etc.] at both ends.

Draw the end shapes that are rectangles in your example [red], and the path [yellow] -- it seems to be important that the path touches the rectangles.  LOFT command, pick the rectangles & Enter to end, and a funny temporary thing will appear, but choose the Path option and pick the yellow.

Vary the twistiness with additional intermediate rectangles -- here the bottom is the one from above, the middle is the one from including the midway rectangle in the top un-Lofted pieces:

[You must select the rectangles in the order you want them along the result.]

Multiple shapes:

Can i ask you one more question.?

i think the puzzle part is how to join 1 vs 1; 2 vs 2; 3 vs 3; 4 vs 4 ( attached image)

Thank you.!

I was going to say: By having the Spline path go from corner 1 to corner 1 [or any of the other corresponding corners].  But I'm surprised to find that it doesn't necessarily work that way -- an edge of the result doesn't necessarily follow the path, even when that goes from a corner to a corresponding corner [they're even the same vertex number in the two Polylines]:

I don't use LOFT enough to have experience with controlling that kind of thing.  I hope someone out there knows how to do it.
