How to loft only outer profile of donut shape

Hi,

  This is a minor irritation as there are walk around.  I would like to loft only the outer profile to create a hollow tube.  But the output is a solid body.  Any settings in Loft to get what I need.

 

I accidentally click on the  2 profiles again twice during screen cap, so the there are 4 profiles in slection.  Pls ignore the Loft dialog box.

This has come up a few times and I can't remember why but you have to use 2 lofts, one for the solid and one to cut the hole. Support did give a reason for it working the way it does but I can't find it easily in a search.
