I came across this page after having a similar problem when I tried to loft a series of cross sections and kept getting a surface instead of a solid which I wanted.
 
The solution for me was to instead of using regions to loft, I made the sections closed polylines and then lofted. The resulting loft from closed polylines was a solid.
 
Though I'd share for future frustrated 3D modellers. :)

Go surface tab, edit, and try the sculpt tool.

Shouuld turn your lofted surface into a solid.

I see. Ok, I followed your steps and produced a "3DSOLID". I also tried it with a Circle and with a Region and both were the same. That leads me to believe that it may be a lofting setting in your system that could be set incorrectly.

Here are my lofting System Variable settings:

LOFTANG1 = 90d
LOFTANG2 = 90d
LOFTMAG1 = 0.0000
LOFTMAG2 = 0.0000
LOFTNORMALS = 1
LOFTPARAM = 7

Maybe you can try setting yours to the same and trying again?

Good Luck!!

I know about the new function but even if I make sure he is on solid, he wil make surface...

 
my steps,
 
View SW isometric.
 
make a circle by pressing c enter.
Than I make a region from this circle (it isnt nessesary but now I am sure he is closed)
I copy the circle over the Z axle
press loft mode is on solid...
 
And still he make a surface
 
(it doesnt make anny sence what for object it is...)

I understand your confusion. I was confused at first too. The poster "wengle" is incorrect. Follow the instruction of JDMather...and look at the image he posted.

Good Luck!!
