spiral parts

Hi, I am trying to create a spiral part using the loft feature but for some reason the last loft section doesn't carry on but changes direction. 
I can produce it using surfaces but that will affect shelling, etc:
Is there any way that I can control the direction of the loft?
Thanks,
Jon

Yes, this can be done with the "Match connections" option.
There are a few tricks to it:
Once you match one set of connections, minimize that set of connections in order to start another set of connections.
For more tips and tricks, check out the Onshape Learning Pathways. They are fantastic.
