Summary
Creates a 3D solid or surface by specifying a series of cross sections. The cross
sections define the shape of the resulting solid or surface. You must specify
at least two cross sections.
Loft profiles can be open or closed, planar or non-planar, and can also be edge
subobjects. Use the mode option to select whether to create a surface or a
solid.
When creating surfaces, use SURFACEMODELINGMODE on page 1509 to control
whether the surface is a NURBS surface or a procedural surface. Use
SURFACEASSOCIATIVITY on page 1507 to control whether procedural surfaces
are associative.
You can use the following objects and subobjects with LOFT:
