Parameters

PModDoc

Model document in which to create the loft body

Profile

Array of sketches representing the profiles of the loft body

GuideCurve

Array of sketches representing the guide curves of the loft body

Centerline

Sketch representing a centerline of the loft body

IsThinBody

True if the loft body is to be a thin body, false if not

ThinType

• 0 = One direction

• 1 = One direction reverse

• 2 = Midplane

• 3 = Two direction

Thickness1

Value for thickness for first direction if a thin body

Thickness2

Value for thickness for second direction if a thin body

FeatureScope

True if the loft body only affects selected bodies, false if the loft body affects all bodies

IsBlendClosed

True for a closed loft, false for an open loft; if true and you selected less that three profiles, then 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 loft body, false to return a surface loft 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

StartTangentLength

Start tangent length

EndTangentLength

End tangent length

StartTangentDir

True is one direction, false is the opposite direction

EndTangentDir

True is one direction, false is the opposite direction

StartMatchingType

Tangency type at the start profile:

• 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

EndMatchingType

Tangency type as the end profile:

• 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

Merge

True merges the results in a multibody part, false does not

Return Value

Specifying guide curves and a centerline are optional. It is best to use guide curves, especially when you select profiles in the FeatureManager design tree.

You must specify the profiles in an order consistent with the desired direction of the loft. If creating a solid loft body, then the profiles must be closed. You can use any number of profiles. However, if you specify only one profile, then any specified guide curves must be closed curves.

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