Parameters

EntitiesArray
Array of non-closed entities
CrossSectionOnly
True to only use cross sections defined by arcs, lines, polylines, or polygons, false to also use guide lines defined by multiple entities that intersect each cross section
GuidesArray
Array of guide lines that intersect each cross section to shape the surface; valid only if CrossSectionOnly is false
LoftSurfaceOption
Loft surfacing option as defined in dsLoftSurfaceNormalOption_e
LoftOption
Loft option as defined in dsLoftedSurfaceNormalOption_e only if LoftSurfaceOption is dsLoftSurfaceNormalOption_NormalTo
DraftStartAngle
Starting draft angle in radians; valid only if LoftSurfaceOption is dsLoftSurfaceNormalOpion_DraftAngles
DraftEndAngle
Ending draft angle in radians; valid only if LoftSurfaceOption is dsLoftSurfaceNormalOpion_DraftAngles
DraftStartCurvature
Starting draft curvature; valid only if LoftSurfaceOption is dsLoftSurfaceNormalOpion_DraftAngles
DraftEndCurvature
Ending draft curvature; valid only if LoftSurfaceOption is dsLoftSurfaceNormalOpion_DraftAngles
[out] or Return Value
ILoftedSurface
