using loft along a composite curve where the 2 faces to connect are in different planes was working and now it doesnt work, ie document will no longer generate giving me errors I cant understand
"a guide has no adjacent faces to match tangent or curvature to"

    Try using Sweep, instead of Loft

    Good point, I'd not appreciated that was critical here, I's assumed it was a hose guide.  It needs to be a loft then.  Sorry.

    That's just workaround. From feature tree it looks like this loft used to work before, am I right?

    Here is the last state when the loft worked 
     
    compare Shows slight geometry modification of Sketch 8 causing self-intersection in Loft 2. I suspect it is due to the guide no longer passing through a vertex of Sketch 8.


    I suggest using pierce constraint in sketch to tie two curves together.

    thanks for all the help, Lana is right, I see that the curve got moved, thanks Michal_1, that's it!
