Loft with Split Line

To create a loft using a split line:

  1. 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.

  2. Set up the planes needed for the profile sketches.

    Use existing planes, or create new planes. The planes do not have to be parallel.

  3. 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.

  4. Click one of the following:
    • Lofted Boss/Base (Features toolbar) or Insert > Boss/Base > Loft
    • Lofted Cut (Features toolbar) or Insert > Cut > Loft
    • Lofted Surface (Surfaces toolbar) or Insert > Surface > Loft
  5. In the PropertyManager:
    1. Select the profiles to loft in the graphics area for Profiles .

      To select the profile sketch on the non-planar face, you must use the Select Group tool in the SelectionManager to select the individual profile sketch edges.

    2. Set the PropertyManager options.
  6. Click .
