Still Having Loft Issues....

So earlier I posted a question regarding my inability to resolve a loft in my project. After receiving some help I was able to get it to "partially" resolve. However I am still unable to use all of my guide lines. The loft continues to fail anytime I add a 3rd guide line and onshape almost always refers to one of the points where one of the splines (more often than not the one I select as the 3rd) pierces the bottom profile. The initial issue was evidently a little messy geometry. Fixing this allowed for the loft to resolve, just not exactly the way I wanted. So I am once again at a loss. Ive included the link to the original post as well as the project link below. Again, any help would be appreciated.
The Loft with only 2 guide lines applied
The Loft as soon as I apply a 3rd (or more) guide line

Short answer is I think you're looking at guides and profiles backwards.
You will have better luck building this either as a series of surfaces with what your trying to use as guides instead using them to build a lofted surface and what your using as lofted profile as the guides.
Alternatively you will have to complete your guides as a closed region sketches and just select all of them in order to create a lofted solid.
Thats an interesting idea i hadnt even considered that, Ill give it a try and report back. Thanks
Looks like that did the trick. Thanks for your help. I hadnt even considered doing things the opposite way.
Been there done that. ha. glad it helped.
