Loft
This is a special case of using the Extrude option. Loft generates a surface or volume between two selected polylines and essentially interpolates the combined shape between them.
- Select the Geometry
workflow tab. - Select at least one polyline.
- Select the in the Geometry > Extrude/Sweep/Loft Tools > Loft
- A dialog should appear. You can use the Add Curve or Delete Selected Curves
to add or remove polylines to be used in the loft operation. The order
of the list determines the order of the loft from one polyline to the
next.
Loft dialog - You can also use the Close Top and Close Bottom checkboxes to convert the top or bottom face of your combined geometry to a polygon if it is closed. If you close the top and bottom, the program will attempt to fill the remaining voids to create a solid volume.
- You can also use the Preview
option to view your translated entities before you accept the changes by pressing Loft.
