Hi Brian, what I suspect was happening was you were doing the loft, and then going to Save before exiting the loft command.

That would cause the Loft command to cancel out, which actually removes the loft. So when you were saving the loft wasn't actually there.

There are several commands that let you change options and stuff like that before they are complete - loft is one like this. For these commands you have to push the "Done" button (or right-click in a viewport or push Enter) to finalize the command before it is all done. Otherwise if you start a different command (including save) before pushing "Done", it is the equivalent of canceling.

I'm glad you are rolling now!
