Creating
solids
and
surfaces
with
different sections
Sometimes, we need to create some non-regularly shaped elements. The next com-
mand represents an easy way, and is also applied for the creation of terrains, curtains,
and so on.
The LOFT command
The LOFT command (no alias) creates a solid or surface from the selection of two or
more cross sections. If all sections are closed, the result is solid, unless the MOde
option is set to Surface .
The command shows the same information as in previous commands. It then asks for
the objects that define the cross sections in the correct order. As sections are being
selected, the lofted object is being previewed. When ending the selection, we press
the Enter key. The command informs us of the number of sections selected and con-
tinues:
Command: LOFT
Current wire frame density: ISOLINES=4, Closed
profiles creation mode = Solid
