Is there a Way to Manipulate Specific Parts of a Loft

I was lofting a surface and it went from a large line to a point. However, when I did this it bunched up in the wrong places and has created these undesired folds in the surface. I might be able to fix this by adding a bunch more guiding curves but that would be very time consuming and would take a ton of work. So I was wondering if you could just manipulate specific points on the surface. For example you have the option to "enable isocurves" but these are only for viewing, is there a way that I can set specific points at the intersections of these isocurves. This would accomplish the same as adding a bunch of guiding curves however this would decrease the workload a lot.
P.S. I saw someone using solidworks and I think they where able to do this in there but I do not really understand solidworks and so it would be much more helpful for me if I could do this onshape.

If you share a public document and/or some screenshots it will be easier to help. It sounds like you may be looking for loft connections. See the help.

No not exactly because with connections you just define points that are connected but I want to be able to manipulate those lines that connect the points.
You’ll need to add guides.

That's what I thought but I was just hoping there was a simpler way. Is there a way I can submit a suggestion to add something like what I am suggesting to the loft tool?
