Hola Amigos buenas. Amigo @gkhalifah this errors shows up when the loft si dificult or imposible to create since the base geometry, it happens to me a couple of times!! 😅 the order of the points that generates the curves is important may be you should reorder the points to evoid overlaping the curve it self we will need the file to check what the real problem is!
