Lofting Issues

Hi Everyone,

Can you all help me understand this issue that I am running into when lofting. I have created a an 8"x8"x8" box with a 1" offset to get overhang at the top and bottom. When I create a loft with these dimensions, it works perfectly. But then if i create a 8"x8"x12" box with a 1" overhang. I cannot get the loft to repeat correctly. Why would this happen? I am repeating and selecting the commands in the same exact order. Is it a loft setting that I need to change? I have have attached a PDF copy of what I need it to look like but when increase it to 20" in height it does not work correctly. I have also attached a video.

Thank you.

    Hi,
    I got it to work when I changed the selection order: instead of selecting from top to bottom, try to select the rectangles from bottom to top.
    What you also can do if you want to change the height of your object is to select the surfaces of the top overhang and use the command PUSH/PULL to drag it up or down (see screen-recording attached). Hope it helps.
    Kind regards,
