Parameters

Closed

True for closed loft, false for open loft; if True, then you must have at least three profiles selected, and if you are using guide curves, the guide curves must be closed

KeepTangency

If the section curves are tangent, then you have the option to specify whether the resulting surfaces are also be tangent; specify True to maintain the tangency as seen in the section curves, false otherwise; 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

TessToleranceFactor

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 at the end profile (see Remarks)

Selection of guide curves and centerline is optional; however, selection of the profiles must be in an order consistent with the desired direction of the loft. Because you are creating a surface, the section profiles can be open.

Use of guide curves is strongly recommended, especially when selection of profiles is done in the FeatureManager design tree.

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

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

• profile selections should be 1

• any guide curve selection, if provided, should be 2

• centerline selection, if provided, should be 4

• start tangency vector selection, if provided, should be an 8

• start tangency faces selection, if provided, should be a 16 (not available currently

• end tangency vector selection, if provided, should be a 32

• end tangency faces selection, if provided, should be a 64 (not available currently)

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

The tangency types can be one of the following:
