Merging 2 lofts togther and eliminating intersecting components.

[duffman1278]

I'm currently modeling a pump which has a volute and changes area on the inside. Now I had no issues lofting the varying profiles of the volute however now I can't seem to merge the discharge of the casing to the other lofted parts.

For reference, the 1st picture shows how I setup the volute, guide curve, and profiles.

The 2nd picture shows the discharge (left) partially lofted and the rest of the pump casing (right) which I want to connect together. Along with the opposite side of the casing.

Picture 3 is just another angle of the profiles.

I also, as seen in image 3, need to eliminate the intersecting components so that the internals are smooth and don't have another body intersecting it and going through the other body. As can be seen in picture 2

Can you post your model? If not can you cut off a section of it and send that as a dumb solid or make a representative geometry that you can send. It is very difficult to diagnose from static images. I have some guesses but don't want to send you down the wrong path.
