A fix for Inverted lofts

I'm trying to make a 3D model of the submarine Alicorn from Ace Combat, and when I'm trying to loft these two sections one goes in the direction I want while the other is backwards. Both lofts are identical settings wise, I just have no idea why one is backwards. Loft 1 is basically Loft 2 but in the opposite direction. Again I do not know why it did that while the 2nd Loft did it right.

This can most likely be tweaked with the Match connections option within the loft feature. If you like, I can help troubleshoot, but I will need a link to your document.
Also, the Self paced courses in the Onshape Learning Center is a great place to learn. Here is the complex Loft tutorial.

First off, you should take @MichaelPascoe up on his offer. Michael is an expert on using Onshape
There’s one thing to be aware of. This appears to be something that is symmetrical. And if that’s the case, you only need to model half of it and then mirror to make up the other half
Take a look at the picture below and see where the long line is drawn. You only need to model from that line to one of the extents on the left or right of the object and then mirror it
