Loft but keep one edge flat?
Hello.
I'm trying to create a solid with flat bottom and curved top. All edges around should come to a point (aka no vertical walls)
So, I've created 4 sketches to define transitions for a loft:
Unfortunately, loft adds curve to the bottom when I select curved edge from "spine" drawing as path:
and if I select bottom straight line from "spine" as path. it refuses to create solid at all.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Maybe use guides instead of path? Also, sometimes starting with a surface helps.

Thank you!
The guides worked very well this time without any additional steps or changes, not sure why they failed for me before.
