Loft Rail Error: Loft operation found a rail curve intersecting a section more than one time

Hello,

I am working on a school project (a plane model), and I have been trying to create a wing by lofting from one airfoil to another. I have added rails (one at the trailing edge and one at the leading edge) so that the loft creates the wing the way I want it to be.

 

While the trailing edge rail works fine, when I try to add the second rail (the leading edge one), it gives me this error:


"The attempted Loft operation found a rail curve intersecting a section more than one time. Try with a different rail curve or modify the rail curve so that it intersects each section only once."

 

I have been stuck on this step for quite a while. I have seen other threads where they managed to solve this, but none of them gave an explanation as to exactly HOW to solve this.

 

I attached the .ipt below. If you manage to solve this, please give me a step by step guide on how you did it, because I will need to replicate this loft multiple times.

 

Thanks and have a nice day!

Accepted solution

Edit sketch 7 and zoom in where the front edge rail intersects the larger profile.  The rail is not connected to the profile loop.  A coincident constraint will fix it.

That solved it.
Looking back, it was just a stupid mistake, but at least I've learned from it.

Thank you very much 🙂
