      Attached is a file that I have been working on most of the day.
      I am trying to loft the leading edge of the fin with extrude tools but it keeps twisting from the bottom to the top. I have also made a shape of the bottom rib and the pulled it up to the top and then scaled it down in the width and thickness. When I use TIG's section cut face I can't get to make a face.
      This is a fin and rudder for a model that I am working on and I want to extract pieces and laser cut them for a physical model.
      I would be thankful for any help.

      Thanks,

        You need to 'extract' the profiles/rails into a separate group and then do the EEbyRails.
        Get the same number of segments in the two rails and profiles.
        Split the top rail with the straight edge, then divide it so its segmentation mimics the curved edge rail.Capture.PNG
