- The cross-section lines must cross all of the profile curves.
- For best results, space the cross section curves relatively evenly.
Steps
- Using any curve creation command, draw profile curves that roughly define the shape of your object.
- Select the profile curves.
- Pick the start of a line that will define the cross-section plane that is perpendicular to the current construction plane.
Turning on Ortho or Grid Snap may help you control the section planes. - Pick the end of the cross-section plane.
- In the plane defined at the cross-section line, a curve will be created that passes through the profile curves, and press Enter.
Once you have made the cross-section curves, you can use the Loft or other command to create a surface through them.
Command-line options
Closed
Determines whether closed curves or curves that start at the first profile line and end at the last profile line are created.
