Hi there,

I'm currently modelling a drill. I need to make a loft between the green edge and tha sketch in the first screenshot below. As you can see in the second screenshot, the existing surface body consists of 3 faces. That means i can't loft directly between the two edges.

How can i merge these three faces into one? I always used "merge tangent faces" and "start/end constraints set to tangency to face.

you can right click in the graphics area while in loft command, and select 'selection manager' from the popup menu and then select the edges of the face you mentioned to select an open group of edges. this will resolve your problem. see screen shot below.
if you want to merge those faces, ctrl select those faces and invoke the 'knit surface' command from insert->surface->knit

  Thanks a lot Tim!
  
  I also tried to use the 'open tangency' as a profile but SW then sees this as 3 different profiles. This solves the problem.
  
  Thanks,
