Using Loft to create tubercles
Hello, I have been offsetting 2 variants of a NACA profile aerofoil and then my goal was to use loft to model a tubercle leading edge.
When I try and select more than 4 faces, I receive this error.
When just four faces are selected, this happens, see where I drew red, the trailing edge should just be completely flat.
I don't know what to do. I am tempted to move on to SolidWorks.

Might need to share your document. I got something similar working. Tips:
- If it's a pattern, make only one part, then pattern the part. No need to make the loft do all the work.
- If you get weird edges, use guides.

It will be down to how you are selecting the edges/faces in your loft profiles. The example here I made has 16 profiles…

Fixed it! I was just being careless in making my second profile (I used the spline tool to trace it, rather than getting an exact duplicate). I duplicated the first profile and used (1-(span/tubercle amplitude)) to get a scale factor by which I scaled the second profile. Then I applied 38 surface offsets.
