I'm trying to convert a loft into a sheet metal part to be flattened. The part is attached below. Any suggestions? Thought about exporting to a STEP and then bringing it back in but no luck unless I'm missing a step. The project is for a mixer blade. I used loft because I know the beginning and ending location of the part on each plain. Once it's cut out from a flat pattern the part will be for lack of a better term twisted into shape.
Jeff,, You can not convert an existing loft to sheet metal. You can, however do a Lofted Bends from two sketches (3d sketches in this case). I used your geometry from your existing loft and made a couple of 3d sketches then used the sheet metal loft tool. You can hide your body but I wanted to show that they match up.
Edit:.. I added a couple of screenshots.
