Curviloft troubleshoot

Hi,

I'm running into some issues when using the Loft by Path tool.

On previous tries I was able to select multiple faces along a curved path and got good results.

Today, using the same faces on a straight path, I can't seem to make it work. After selecting the path and faces I get no response.
I tried breaking the process down by lofting along only two faces at a time, but after getting half way I ran into the same, no response issue.

I figure I'm doing something wrong, but not sure what.
Any help is appreciated

Why is you 'skeleton' so big
It measures at about a mile high !

SketchUp cannot work with geometry that is very large AND if it's very small [the usual issue].
Its 1/1000" tolerance assume very short edges have coincident points and it doesn't make them or the related faces.

Conversely, if the geometry is far from the model's origin, then two points shared by edges that might be regarded as coincident at more usual dimensions are assumed not to be, once again edges and related faces can be missed out...

Thanks TIG,
I had learned somewhere along the way to avoid small geometry...didn't know that it was an issue the other way around too. guess I overcompensated.

But I scaled down and it doesn't seem to change the problems I'm having
