Parameters

PModDoc

Model document in which to create the lofted body

IsBlendClosed

True for a closed, false for an open loft; if true and you selected less that three profiles; any selected guide curves must be closed curves

KeepTangency

If the section curves are tangent, then you have the option to specify whether the resulting faces are also tangent; specify true to maintain the tangency as seen in the section curves, false to not

NOTE: When generating tangent surfaces, SOLIDWORKS maintains planar and cylindrical surface shapes if the section curves exhibit these characteristics.

ForceNonRational

True to force the resulting surface to be non-rational, false to not

IsSolidBody

True to return a solid body, false to return a surface body

TessTolFactor

Factor to control the number of intermediate sections used for loft with centerline; default value is 1.0; the greater the variable, the more intermediate sections created

StartMatchingType

Tangency type at the start profile (see Remarks)

EndMatchingType

Tangency type as the end profile (see Remarks)

Return Value

Newly created loft

Selection of guide curves and centerline is optional. However, you must select the profiles in an order consistent with the desired direction of the loft. Because a solid is being created, the section profiles must be closed.

It is best to use guide curves, especially when you select profiles in the FeatureManager design tree.

You can use any number of profiles, However, if you select only one profile, then any selected guide curves must be closed curves.

Use IModelDocExtension::SelectByID2 to select the profiles and guide curves. Set the mark for:

• profile selections to 1

• any guide curve selection to 2

• centerline selection to 4

• start tangency vector selection to 8

• start tangency faces selection to 16 (not available)

• end tangency vector selection to 32

• end tangency faces selection to 64 (not available)

Linear edge, sketch line, axis, plane and planar faces are qualified for tangency vector sections.

The tangency types can be:

• 0 = none

• 1 = tangent to the normal of the profile

• 2 = tangent to the selected vector

• 3 = tangent to all adjacent faces sharing an edge with the start profile
