Loft

Overview of Functions

Create a object by connecting two or more selected section profile shapes.

Details of Functions

Generate Tab

Select target

Select two or more profile cross sections.

Select path

Select the path object.

Shape variation

Add settings for the details of the Loft shape.

  • Shape Type : Select the type of connection curve.
    - Polynomial : Assumes the connection curve as a polynomial function and sets the order of the function by inputting its degree of order.
    - Arc : Assuming the connection curve is arc, sets the radius of the arc.

  • Variation origin : Specify the base position of the connection curve. Applies to the Start profile and the End profile respectively.

  • Curve order-y,z : Sets the order for the curve connected in the Local-y, z direction. (Expressed when Polynomial)

  • Radius-y,z : Enter the radius of the arc for the connection curve in the direction of the Local-y, z. (Displayed when Arc)

  • Convexity-y,z : When checked On, the convex connection curve is applied in y, z direction.

Option

Adds options for the details of the Loft geometry.

  • Keep target orientation : Retains the direction of the target regardless of the direction of the path.

  • Keep bulge factor : When checked on, it maintains the extrusion rate of 'Shape variation' line according to the change of the length of the object.
