Dear all,
As you can see in attached picture, I'm trying to make a loft shape with guide curves. In order to make this happen, I need to draw some equal guide curves through both circles as shown. I tried every method I knew, but nothing gave me what I wanted. Please help me.!
Welcome to the forum. Can you post what you have so far? That will make it much easier to help you. Click on "Use advanced editor" at top right to post files.
A revolve might be more suitable for that shape, and it would much easier to construct.
Yes Mr. Kelvin. But I'm wondering about this method since I think it might useful for my further designs. Thank you.
In that case, add a construction line between the two circle centres and use the Mirror function to make an exact copy of one of the splines.
Yes I did it and it worked for only top plane. My intention is to get some more copies through two circles. Conevrt entities doesn't work for perpendicular or angled planes. Please check my attachments for clear details. Thank you Sir.
An alternative method would be to create a surface from one of the splines, and create a circular pattern of the surface. The edges of the surfaces can then be used in the loft.
Thank you very much Sir. I'll try this. I know this will work perfectly with my requirement. Thank you again.
another option is derived sketches

One question Sir, How you made that surface.? By using extruded boss.?
Add vertical and horizontal lines to create a closed loop, and then use the Planar Surface tool.
