lofted curves issue

Dear all,

I am trying to loft between 3 circles, but the last circle is at an angle. I flattened it to get the loft, which usually solves the problem, but this time it's gone really mangled, and I have no idea why. It appears to have twisted itself round, but I'm not aware of anything I have done in order for that to happen....Would anyone be able to cast some light onto this for me? Many thanks in advance!

See attached.

There we're a few transformations needed on your angled circle to have it's structure match the original circles.

that's an interesting solution for lofts - it does seem important to have all the loft curves with the same direction and to have the seams in line.

I've found a similar thing with sweeps with 2 rails... by dividing both rails by the same number of points and drawing new rail curves through the same points then the sweep is much neater. I guess this might be a bodge though!
