To automatically delete the cross sections, guides, and paths, use DELOBJ. If
surface associativity on page 2537 is on, DELOBJ is ignored and the originating
geometry is not deleted.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Cross Sections in Lofting Order Specifies open or closed curves in the order
in which the surface or solid will pass through them.
Point If you select the Point option, you must also select a closed curve.
Join Multiple Curves Joins multiple, end-to-end curves as one cross section.
Mode Controls whether the lofted object is a solid or a surface.

■ Cross sections only
■ Settings on page 1055
Continuity This option only displays if the
LOFTNORMALS on page 2395 system
variable is set to 1 (smooth fit). Specifies whether the continuity is G0, G1, or
G2 where the surfaces meet.
Bulge Magnitude This option only displays if the
LOFTNORMALS on page
2395 system variable is set to 1 (smooth fit). Specifies a bulge magnitude value
for objects that have a continuity of G1 or G2.
Guides
Specifies guide curves that control the shape of the lofted solid or surface.
You can use guide curves to control how points are matched up on
corresponding cross sections to prevent undesired results, such as wrinkles in
the resulting solid or surface.
