Loft projection

I have the loft in the picture, that I need to project or I should say extend to plane BH 681. Is there any way to achieve that?

    If you want to "extend" you could use a "move face" up to your plane.
    If you want to project, you could extrude the end face up to the plane.
    You could also sketch on your plane and do a "use" to convert the end face of the loft depending what you are trying to do...

    In addition to Eric's good suggestions you could use "Replace face" with the plane as the face to replace with.

    I guess that "extend " should have been the correct word. I will try your suggestion. Anyways, I solved the problem by scaling non-uniformly. Well let you know if I reach the same part using the "move face" feature, which I never used before, and seems the right way to do this.

    Thank you, guys. The "move face" was exactly what I need for this case. I will check at a later time the use of the "replace face" as suggested. Will not hurt to learn something else.
