Hello everyone,
I'm sorry if this was already answered, I didn't find such topic on forum.
My problem is that I want to make a loft for a profile that have a hole.
I cannot use loft cut after a loft because I do not have a guide curves for inner hole profile. I do not even know what shape this hole actually should become after a loft.
My two guide curves are complicated and they are adjacent only to outer profiles and if I try to use them for inner hole profile - SW goes crazy and twists inner cut loft in a very strange way. My guess that this is because they are too far away and actually not applicable for it. What should I do?
Thank you for any suggestions.
Igor.
I lied. Here's an attempt with a deformed hole. It's possible, but not necessarily pretty or "correct". If you understand the general method below you can try tweaking how the guide curves are made to maybe get a better result.
Basically I'm using lofted surfaces as a way to create edges that are curves that are the "average" between two existing curves. So the ruled surfaces allow me to create an intersection curve along the outside edge of the part, and then we can use our loft surface to create an edge that theoretically is the ratio between the circle center and circle edge, to the circle edge and the outside of the part.
Hope this makes sense. I still if it's possible a sweep would be a better option.
