Re: Issue with loft and matching verticies
You're right, you can only select one vertex per profile. Don't think of Match Vertices as a vertex-to-vertex map. It's more of a clocking feature that sets "vertex 0" for each profile. The best way to force correct vertex mapping is to make sure each profile has the same number of line segments. It looks like your blue body has 8 segments (4 sides, 2 chamfers, 2 fillets). Instead of using the end of your shaft as the profile, start a sketch on that surface, Use/Convert the circular edge, and use the Split command to segment that circle into 8 pieces. Now when you use the Match Vertices option, the rest of the loft should fall in line.
Here's an example.
