Loft with Split Line
To create a loft using a split line:
-
Use a split line to create a non-planar profile on a model face.
For example, create a circle on a plane, then project the circle onto a non-planar face.
-
Set up the planes needed for the profile sketches. Use existing planes, or create new planes. The planes do not have to be parallel.
-
Sketch the profiles.
For example, sketch a point on plane 4.
You can create a loft to a point, even if the point is part of a sketch containing other sketch entities.
