Well friends,
As everybody knows Loft can't "align" a thing or two : i.e. adjust seams/directions (in most of cases) and hilarious results occur (in most of cases).
I mean this :
So I said to myself : post (again) something in the errors/bugs category. But then I said (also to myself) : why ? everybody knows that ... post something fun(?) in the examples that can(?) guide(??) people out of the rabbit hole.
And here we are : 4 test surfaces, 4 paneling methods, 2 profile "classes", 2 orientation options, 3 methods to skin a cat, 2 methods to find intact panels (in "any" surface - trimmed or not with or without holes), 2 presentation alternatives, 7 gates, 2 filters, 1 Branch controller(?), 1 secret component (related with sardines) = let me make the maths : about 123,45 Loft examples (a bit primitive to indicate the main issue).
NOTE: GH quite frequently (a) fails to internalize data (b) internalizes them and reports the data as "null". Use Rhino file if this is your lucky day.
NOTE: Lunchbox is required
NOTE: Proper Named Views were defined ... but then components are moved ... blah blah: make your own.
best, Peter

Hi Peter,
There's a useful method Curve.DoDirectionsMatch which can tell you whether the two curves you are about to loft, have the same direction or not. If not you could flip one of them, and then perform the loft.
