Loft generates surface but not solid

Hi,
I want to generate a loft between two profiles generated by Profile Generator script (airfoil) but I cannot generate a solid loft between two profiles. Only surface loft can be generated.
Another interesting thing: There is no Sketch 1 in my document. Why does Loft show still "Face of Sketch1"? I deleted lofts, profiles completely and draw again, but it still shows Sketch 1.
Thanks.

Generally, more segments/points in a profile will make for a more problematic loft. Ideally, your loft profiles have the same number of points. You can also adjust where points are mapped profile to profile.

I'd like to take a look, but you need to change the permissions on your document to allow copying.
Surface loft + 2 Fills can create a Solid. Not sure why I cannot be done otherwise.

How can I change permissions? I have only this:
Thanks but now I have problem combining two parts with boolean. I want to add newly generated part (surface then fill) to another part but I can generate only new surface not "add surface".
This worked on the loft. - Scotty

Ok , I think I found the issue. Profile generator has some settings including accuracy. When I increase the accuracy, loft worked without problem. I think feiner setting in accuracy causes airfoil profile not closing.
