Hi community!
Just to get familiar with the loft tool I created an additive loft with a circle (XY-plane), slot (45 degree, datum-plane), rectangle (XZ-plane, 90 degree) and after that I created a subtractive loft on the same planes with smaller geometries.
While the additive loft looks ok the subtractive loft is for me not comprehensible.
With the loft tool GUI I could select the inner sketches (circle, rectangle) on the outside of the additive loft, but not the slot in the middle.
Any ideas if I made a mistake or it might be a bug?

Re: additive loft calculation differs from subtractive loft calculation
Split the circles into four arcs, loft likes to have the same number of elements per profile.

Re: additive loft calculation differs from subtractive loft calculation
you must have the same number of segments in each scketches: so make the circle with 4 arcs
and they must all be in the same direction
