CONFUSED!!! Cannot select a face...

I am pretty experienced with Fusion360 but I cannot wok out why I cannot select a face to edit on. I cannot select it to put an offset plane on, or direct edit. I have tried converting it to DM but still cannot select a face. I simply created the model by Lofting from one sketch to another and removed the inside with neg extrude. Some help would be appreciated.

Make the lines of both sketches vertical.

Because the lines are not parallel, there is no flat surface.

BTW, your sketches should be fully constraint.

Thanks for your quick response. Do you mean like this? I did this but still cannot select the face. The vertical lines on the r/h/s of the sketch are not vertical as they are not parallel with the lines I have applied the vertical constraint to. Or have I misunderstood you?

Make ALL lines of both sketches vertical.

The lines are also offset from each other.

Just sussed it. Thank you very much for your help. I had so many angles I didn't realise I handed constrained sketch. Works a treat now...
