sweeps with draft angle?
(OP)
Is is possible to create a sweep with a tapper or draft angle? Or do i have to use a Loft? If I have to use a loft, can i use a series of lines with raduis as guide curves, or do i need to use splines?

Reason trumps all. And awe trumps reason.

I originally sketched the guide after the section and put a pierce point constraint to link the guide to the section. This gave me a pierce point does not exist error. It seems that Solid Works demands that the section entity must reference the Guide and not the other way around.
To get the pierce point constraint, make a point coincident to a line or arc on the Section geometry and select the guide curve to control the section and apply the pierce constraint.
Is there an option to make a surface with a variable offset 5mm at one end and 10mm at the other? If so that would be a good way to develop curves for the guides based on a surface using the center trajectory.
