<<From your description, it sounds like you're using the "prefix" option with two completely different objects instead of with sliced cross-sections of one object.>> This is exactly right. I'm aware that you can "slice" a lofted object but I also found that if I create cylinders with 5 sides(pentagon) and then deleted the "core" vertices I could achieve the same effect of the slice routine. The reason I use the "Prefix" option is so that I can have separate cross-section objects that I can move and animate individually. SKIN will then create a smooth surface between the animated template objects not matter where they are located. Sort of like a serpent.
