I don't know why the Loft fails so miserably, but I used Extrusion to solve it a different way:

That cheeky 'postcard' is not a grasshopper feature, is it?

Thanks for thinking around the corner.

Hello

i tried one too. in case you like to keep the rotating control you have in your first definition, you can try the following.its with way more components compared to David's solution.

it is weird. Loft, surface from revolution, sweep etc all had invalid brep as output, except rail revolution component. 

cheers

I tend to use David's version as it doesnt have so many components that make me feel uncomfortable and excited at the same time. :D

Yours indeed is more comfortable to use, especially for my further project.

I'll give it a try. :)

Thanks again.
