I am not on my CAD computer and won't be able to look at your drawing until tomorrow (Sunday).

Update: I tried the link above twice this morning but it did not work.

Still getting a "server not found" error when clicking on the link you provided.  What's up with that?

Hi Jhon, 
so to make sure i am following the right steps I created an image from the shapes Im trying to loft
1- I have the crescent as Cross sections which  I select both of them
2- I choose Guides and then select the curve ( the one in the bottom of the crescent)
but loft not giving me any shape ....it fails...

thank you

Where are you located exactly?

I've attached a copy of the crescent created as a solid.  Have fun.

I outlined the steps I used to create the shape in the form of a solid.  You'll just have to keep at it until you get it right. 

So as it turns out it wasn't the shape of the crescent you were talking about but how it lines up with the geometry directly behind it.  My guess from the image you provided is that you located it incorrectly.  BTW...you can attach images to your posts directly.  There is no need to zip the image file.  It is totally unnecessary.

Once you have the crescent located correctly portions of the geometry behind it will have to be removed.  You cannot use the Trim command and you cannot use the Slice command.  Copy both pieces off to one side and subtract the crescent from the piece behind it.  Next, use the Separate command to break the main piece (the one you want to keep) from the portion of the geometry that is of no use.  Once you run that command and the pieces are separated delete the one(s) you don't need.  Now swap what remains with its original.  At this point the back of the crescent and the front of the geometry behind it should fit like a glove.

In the future, when you are commenting about something another user has provided you, free of charge and after much work, be a little bit more clear in your explanation of what you think may be "different" than what you expected otherwise someone may just get the wrong idea.  Got it?

Yes, it does match.  Here's proof.
