Loft not working

I am new to fusion and trying to design a window adapter for an airco tube, I have the hose connector and window block in perfect relation to each other as I want it, but for some reason my loft tool won't connect the two. 

 

What am I missing? How can I connect the two? 

 

I tried rails (never used them though) or different positions but Fusion won't do connect the two surfaces.

Hi,

solid loft doesn ´t work with hollow  profiles.

1. Create a loft using the outside ( full) profiles

2. Create a second loft using inside profiles and CUT option

How do I do this? I can't not select all outside surfaces and loft them.

Sometimes Loft just can't.  In this case the two profiles are so diverse, and so close together, you can get a reasonable solid Loft, but making that result hollow just falls over.

Same for a surface loft, will not thicken.

 

Shorten the tunnels for more likely sucesss.

See Attached.

Do you have a picture of something similar to what you are attempting to model?
