Loft Normal :• Creates a surface fit

through selected profile curves that define the surface shape. The surface has a "normal" amount of stretching between the curves.

Instructions:• First create a set of lines

or any type of shape. In the command line write “loft” and hit enter.

• It will then tell you to select the lines you wish to loft, select both lines and hit enter.

• A small screen will appear informing you the type of style you want the loft to appear. For this example pick normal and press “ok”.

• Your end product should look like this or similar.

Loft


Loft Developed:• Creates a separate

developable surface or polysurface from each pair of curves.

Instructions:• Just like the previous

slide, create two lines and in the command line write “loft” and hit enter. Select both lines and click enter.

• Once the screen appears, instead of selecting “normal”. Pick the style “Developable” and click ok.

• This style will change the design and develop a “flattened” appearance.

• Snapping is simply a helper for accuracy. Notice how my cursors kind of stickies for the grid intersections.

• End: When this is checked, your cursor snaps to the end of all objects, lines, edges, surfaces…• Near: When this is checked, your cursor snaps near any object. That means you can create lines on

other edges, or anywhere where some other object already resides.• Point: Snaps to Point objects only.• Mid: Snaps to middle of lines, curves, edges.• Cen: Snaps to center of an object, usually if you have some curvy objects, it determines where the

center of it is. Center of arc, circle, or similar.• Int: Snaps on intersection of objects. Lines and edges usually.• Perp: If you want to start (or end) a line but make it perpendicular to some reference line, this is what

you need.• Tan: If you are creating a line that needs to be tangent on circle or similar, this is it.• Quad: Snaps to quads.• Knot: Snaps to knots.
