How to generate a complex surface with profiles in 3 orthagonal planes?

[mchristensen]

Have tried multiple times to get the MATCH LINE and ADD commands to create a sort of spherical surface.  Get error messages about points not on the same side of plane, or points in same plane, or error 342 last operation invalid.   Is this not possible with Creo Elements Direct or am i missing something obvious (but not to me)?  Have attached the construction.  Note: the three arcs have different radii.

I only have the full version of Direct/Modeling and cannot read the file.

Is it possible to see a picture for the problem?

Best regards

I, too, have the full version and cannot read your file. But if I understand your situation, I would use the "Insert Face" or "Skin" command to create the surface instead of using Loft.

You're welcome here the picture
You can install Express 6 in addition to the full version !
Works without problems.
Is it interesting to compare.

Here's the result of Insert Face in full version.

Here it is using the Skin command instead of Insert Face.
