This time I clicked all left but somehow the left figure was created and I have no clue where the bend between the big curves comes in the solid body....

no the right shows the thing before loft and the left is the loft, as I did not create a curve between the big gap
I do not expect that the loft tool creates such a bended part in the middle, any idea why?
Thnx for your help Frenchy Pilou

I have find your curious thing :)
When you make a loft there are 3 options
Normal
Loose
Straight

Here you have made the Normal, try loose an straight :)
Michael will tell you why Normal in this precise case is more curvated :)

Hi Thor, yeah that is rather unexpected.

Right now loft is pretty sensitive to the spacing of the cross-sections. If they are spaced rather unevenly as they are here, it tends to create some oscillations.

I think that I can tune this up to be less sensitive.

In the meantime, the "loose" style is much less sensitive to the spacing - the surface created from the loose style is not forced to actually go exactly through all the cross-sections, it is more just guided by them. Another workaround for the moment is to copy the middle cross section once or twice inside the longest gap area to make it more evenly spaced.
