Lofting difficulties
I'm having difficulties connecting my 3 profiles of my loft.
Connecting bottom - middle works, and middle - top works, but all 3 creates this weird error.
Have attempted connecting points and ensuring each profile has matching number of divisions, but unsure why it's still failing. Appreciate some 3rd party insight.

Sketch Top has what seems like an extra line segment. I fixed that and it makes loft 1 and loft 4 behave much more like you might have expected.

I would also highly recommend fully constraining your sketches.
@S1mon thank you, you're right it was just an extra line segment that I missed. Thank you so much.
Have you got any tips for plugging the gap between these lofts (i.e. between orange and dark blue segments in image above)?
You could create guide curves through the points of the section sketches, and then use the guides for both the orange and dark blue. Or you could decide which of the lofts is more like what you want, and then grab those resulting edges to use as guides for the second loft. There are a lot of different ways beyond that that this shape could be created. Without knowing exactly what you're trying to do it's hard to come up with the "best" solution.
