Loft Error
Loft Error
(OP)
I am trying to a relatively simple loft (or so I thought) but for some reason I am getting an error that I haven't seen before. The error is as follows, "Cannot Knit Sheets Together"
I read online a couple places that said this may be due to the fact that the profiles are too different and multiple (more than two) guide curves may need to be used. The profiles I'm dealing with don't really yield themselves very nicely to multiple guide curve because of the plane construction that would be involved. I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this error and could suggest a way to make this loft work or present a work-around.
I'm considering splitting the closed region into two more basic shapes and lofting them independently.
A screenshot is attached.
Suggestions?
Thank you,

RE: Loft Error
By breaking the original profile into two separate loft portions I was able to create a nice guide curve from the edge of my first half of the loft.
If anyone can do loft like this without introducing surfaces left me know.
I attached a picture so you can see if you'd like.

If it is proprietary then simply make up a dummy file that exhibits the same behavior.

Thanks a lot - great advice.
Attached is a file containing the problem geometry. I'd be curious to see if anyone could avoid the "knit sheets" error and complete this problem using a loft. Anyway, thanks again.

Attached is a slightly modified model with a second boundary boss instead of a surface.
