I am modeling a aircraft fuselage for conceptual design work. First, I make the side view sketch to act as guide cures. Then I made a top view sketch for just the left side of the fuselage. After I make the relevant lines, I mirror them to the other side. Following this, I make cross curves that are connected to points lying on the guide curve sketches so they do intersect. The cross curves are then mirror to the other side

To make a surface, I then use Multi-Section Surfaces by first selecting the cross curves to act as Sections and then try to select the guide curves. I am able to select some of them by using Create Extract however, for some guide curves, I receive the above error when trying to use Create Extract.
