Normal To
Controls the surface normal of the solid or surface where it passes through
the cross sections. (LOFTNORMALS system variable)
Start Cross Section Specifies that the surface normal is normal to the start
cross section.
End Cross Section Specifies that the surface normal is normal to the end cross
section.
Start and End Cross Sections Specifies that the surface normal is normal to
both the start and end cross sections.
All Cross Sections Specifies that the surface normal is normal to all cross
sections.
Draft Angles
Controls the draft angle and magnitude of the first and last cross sections of
the lofted solid or surface. The draft angle is the beginning direction of the
surface. 0 is defined as outward from the plane of the curve. (LOFTNORMALS
system variable)
The following illustration shows the affect of using a different draft angle for
the first and last cross sections of a lofted solid. The first cross section is
assigned a draft angle of 45 degrees, while the last cross section is assigned a
draft angle of 135 degrees.
You can also use the draft angle handle to adjust the draft angle (triangular
grip) and magnitude (circular grip).
