Loft between profiles

Create a 3D form that connects two or more closed profile shapes.

Loft connects selected profile sections in their pick order. Draw the section shapes first and position them at the required elevations. The sections determine the form; a valid result depends on compatible profiles and their arrangement.

Prepare the sections

Draw two or more closed profile shapes and position them as the intended cross-sections. Their positions and pick order matter. Start with a small set whose relationship you can inspect.

Choose Loft and pick profiles

Activate Loft, then click the section shapes in the order the form should follow. The guide shows the current profile count. At least two selected profiles are required before creation is available.

Choose the section transition

Under Sections, choose Smooth or Straight. With exactly two sections, the current Loft has straight sides; selecting Smooth does not create extra intermediate profiles.

Close the sequence where available

With three or more picked sections, Closed can connect the end back to the first section. This option is not offered for a two-section loft.

Create or cancel

Choose Apply or press Enter to create the supported result. Esc cancels the current picking operation. Inspect the created form and use Undo if it is not the result you intended.
