Hi, I looked to your post and definition, and i think you are made some confusion. [ you are trying to join edges of deconstructed brep with one  surface [ loft ] , with join curves component ] and it makes no sense. Could you be more precise in what kind of design do you want to obtain? [ Post your .3dm file ]

Joaquim Filipe Reis,

Sorry for the delay and thank you for your reply.

I'm trying to obtain the edge joined by two surfaces that were loft, so that i can move the edge and the surfaces follow that movement together.

Hi Francisco, Post your .3dm and .Gh file actualized to I have a look.

Anyway, I think this approach it will help you. It consist in dispatch a list of items [ in this case one point on curve ]  moved into Z direction, to after rebuild the initial curve to reach the loft surface. If i understand correctly your question i think this will help you.

Well i saw the definition, and for me is a great script to learn some steps.

But i think that it's a little "advanced" for me for the moment.

I will try to understand how can i combine the two scripts, and then i will reply to you.

OK for you?

By the way i saw this video, an it's something like this. But i didn't offset the curves.

But in my case the structure is a little bit confuse

Thank you.

Sure, I looked to your .3dm i suggest this approach. In this case we are rebuilding the initial profile curve [ nº1 ] with an attraction, to execute loft operation with curve [ nº2 ] , I suggest we use mesh loft, because it is much more simple to thickens.[The last component it is wbThicken, from WeaverBird developed by Giulio Piacentino and it is available here : http://www.giuliopiacentino.com/weaverbird/ ] Otherwise it is possible to offset surface and after loft boundaries to have a closed brep. but it is a little more tricky, because your initial profile curve are not coplanar.
