Loft to connect two hollow cylinders

[Anonymous]

New to F360 here; in the past I've worked in Blender and SketchUp.

I'm attempting to connect two hollow cylinder like objects at a bit of an angle. The connected section needs to remain hollow as this is a conduit. In the image below, I'm trying to connect the bottom face of the top object with the top face of the bottom object.

I've tried the Loft tool, but I get an error:

Error: The loft could not be created. Try changing the inputs, swapping profiles for rails or a centerline, or adjusting the continuity conditions.
Error: Tool body creation failed

Any advice? File attached.

I managed to get a loft to work by switching to the Surface panel. However it seems that the loft is not solid on the inside. Additionally, I now have four separate models - the first two rings and the two loft surfaces. Is it possible to combine all of this into one solid object? (for 3d printing)

Updated file attached.

Quite a few methods to get this done, hollow loft profiles is not one of them.

I deleted your "holes", broke the timeline - and lofted the 2 solid bodies, made the connections tangent, for appearance sake, and then shelled the whole thing in one go.

You could have done the first surface loft, and thickened the lofted surface, but joining conditions may not suit.

You could boundary fill your double loft cavity, 

Loft just will not do donut style profiles, have has been able to - in Fusion.

Fusion is a sketch based modeller, I see you are not using sketches, for this model doesn't matter but the more you use it the more you will sketch then develope bodies from them.

Move tool is not recommended either.

See how you go....

Thanks for this helpful advice. Would you mind attaching your file so I can follow the steps you took in the timeline? Thank you!
