Hello. Your loft needs two faces to succeed. You've selected a face of sketch 2 but it needs to know where to go. - Scotty
Lofting propellers will require guide curves to get a properly shaped model. I would suggest that you look closely at the self paced courses on lofting. I find props to be one of the more difficult things to model correctly, with rounded propeller tips being particularly troublesome. Pay attention to detail, and get creative.
Keep at it, and good luck
i already did that but its showing self intersecting body , so how to solve that
