Loft between circular curves

Hello,

 

in the attached I want to create a loft between the two highlighted blue semi circular curves using the edges of the two surfaces as guides. My problem is that the bottom profile consist of two seperate curves while the top profile is a single curve. Normally I would just join the two bottom curves to create a single one but Fusion does not allow joining curves. So I could cut the top profile in half but is there another solution?

 

Thanks in advance

The two curves sketch of the file (both sides) are not connected with coincident connections, at their common end points (minute error)

common problem with projected geometry.

 

Edit sketch, break link, window select the centre connection and make coincident.

Loft both sides of the arc sketch (almost like a patch surface.  (Highlighted)

Hide the sketched lines, and use the edge of your new surface as profile to complete the loft.

Hide Remove etc.

Might help....

Dave, that was the trick I was looking for. I wanted to somehow select several curves as a single profile input.

 

Thanks!
