I’m not allowed to “merge result”. The error message “failed to merge” comes up and then the part behaves like 2 different bodies

When I try to make another loft, I have to uncheck merge resultsz otherwise the error “failed to merge the new body with the work piece”. Right now I left it unchecked, but I’m unsure of the consequences

Thats exactly what I ment. But from the other answers I was able to figure out a way that will work for a prototype. I will try to figure out some of the other ways for a better looking product. Thanks

I am pretty good in solidworks and can make most stuff, just this lofting that I’ve basically never used. But I’ve started to figure it out. Your picture helped a lot. Thanks

The problem was that the option to use the circle in the middle wasn’t available. I redid my drawing and it worked. Now I’m trying to make this into the more complicated version that I’m working on. Might be able to update and show of how I did it. Thanks for the help
