Loft - Self intersection or bad geometry

Hello Team

 

I am struggling to create a loft with a sketch that has a rounded corner. All lines intersect and I am using two profiles and a centreline. I have tried removing the rounded corner and placing a line across the corners but have the same issue.

 

The one problematic point/corner seems to fold on itself. 

Please help

I seem to be having the edge curling issue not just on the fourth mentioned corner but on multiple sketches and corners when using the loft feature.

Couple of ways to control that shape, 

You may want to remove a few spline points.

Unfortunately, the suggested solution won't work here. I need to make a loft using surfaces and the rail used that is perpendicular to the flat face does not exist more am I able to break the continuous spline line.

Surface or solid - uses the same geometry.

Centreline rail is causing your distortion.

 

Check my second version selections.
