Cannot create loft

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm attempting to create a loft but for some reason Inventor does not like my sketches (see file). I've tried deleting construction lines and simplifying the sketches but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any tips on how to accomplish this? Thank you.

Sketching was done well. I only set the outer circles to construction lines.

Thank you for the reply! I thought I had already tried that.. apparently not. However, I am trying to use sketch8 as the path and am still getting errors.

Never mind, I see what you did. Thank you again. That was simple enough.

Take a look at this example too.

I redesigned the impeller using CFD software and imported into Inventor. I can stitch the splitter blades into solids, but am having trouble with the main blades. It will not let me patch the outer side. Any ideas on how to solve this? Thank you.

I haven't dug deep into this yet, but first thing I would do is delete duplicate geometry.

Solve for one example of each fin size and then Pattern.
