insert multiple profiles in the usual sweep

Good morning.
I am new in this forum and thank you in advance for the availability offered.
I just started using solidworks and would need to know if it is possible to change profiles within the same sweep. I am drawing an element (allego pdf 3d) that along a curve changes the profile several times. I solved overlapping more extrusions and cutting where the shape of the profile changes but it does not seem to me an elegant and rational choice. logically it would seem more correct to work with sweep or loft only that in this case I would not be able to get the same result. Could you please tell me the right way?

thanks to all

if you have profile changes you must use the loft
I imagined, but I would ask you a few tips: can I use a loft even on a closed curve as in the enclosed example? in case how can I determine the inclination of the plans on which I would design the sketches of the profile changes?
Thanks again

should appear a message that asks if you feel reliable the file, you have to choose to show the content. even at that point you do not see the content, you must click and drag the "invisible" object that magically appears at that point. I don't know why but it happened with all exported pdfs.
thanks to everyone for the answers
 
What is a pdf 3d? I don't use acrobat.
attach an image?
attach an edrawing?
Maybe addiruttura attach the file?

certain that having the file would allow to escape some doubts:
is a single body or the lower right and divided part?
Is it handled with a spline or a set of curves?
besides of course you can do some tests and give the best solution

I don't need to be a loft.
you can take several roads, but go to know what is better. . .
assuming that it is made on one floor only you can:
- do 2 sweeps, one per profile, and an extrusion and then make a match
- make an extrusion sweep and one cut plus an extrusion of the lower part and a pair
- make 2 extrusions and two cut/extrusion

If you want to use the loft you have to make a plan, use sketches and axes made to the need, for each change of curve and then of the driving curves. However in principle the loft serves when you have a continuous, unbroken passage, between one section and another as in the classic example of the quad/round movings; the loft will never make the net bill that you see in the image
