Trouble with lofting and various surfaces

Hello, I'm trying to recreate a shape but with some new dimensions. I am having some trouble with lofting and creating surfaces.

What should I be doing?

 

Thanks for looking!

Hi! I am still trying to understand what sketches you are trying to loft through. Is it about picking Sketch8? You will need to change the vertical line from solid line to construction line (Format -> Construction). Let me know if it works for you.

Many thanks!

Hello, thank you for your response! I'm trying to recreate the solid part on the left. 

 

The loft would follow the red lines below:

Does that make sense?

Hi! There are multiple issues with the sketch. Like I mentioned earlier, Sketch8 has multiple segments and the profile is not clearly defined. Sketch6 has overlapped segments. You need to delete them and then use Sketch Doctor to add coincident constraints (or manually apply it curve by curve). After that, Loft will work (see attached file).

Many thanks!
