I am trying to taper the top of this rib. Using the loft I tried cutting the corner off. I need to taper it while following along the curve of the face. It leaves part of the face uncut, not sure how to fix it. Also if i select the outer edge as path I get message it is not smooth?
Not Loft, Extrude cut it away.
Sketch 7 is not parallel to the curved face, so you may need to edit that sketch to be square to the radial face.
Curved face projected to a new sketch, Plane between 2 lines.
Might help....
I used your sketches, added a dimension to one, so you can change the size as needed. The Screencast will be the best way to explain my process. Model is attached.

That looks great, I need the taper on both sides so I tried to repeat your method on the other side. When I try to perform the second split body using the offset surface I get a compute error about not intersecting.
I think you are doing wayyyy to much work.
I would do the entire design very differently (starting with a fully defined Sketch1 of course).
But having said that, see attached.
@g-andresen method is the one I would was doing before he bet me to the post.😁
