Hello,
At first.. My english is not verry good...
I work with AutoCAD 2011 and works a lot with 3D.
But now with 2011 when I try to loft, he makes a surface.
Now you can choose in loft between solid and a surface... And even when I choose for solid he wil make a surface...
Does somebody know what I do wrong or what I have to do to make a solid...
Thanks in advance.
Greetz,
Rikky

Hi Rikky. I will try to explain this with your lack of English Skills in mind.
You know that LOFT requires minimum 2 cross sections, correct? And you know what it means to have "Open" and "Closed" cross sections, correct? IF any one cross section is Open, the resulting LOFT will be a Surface. IF ALL cross sections are Closed, the resulting LOFT will be a Solid. Does this help?

I understand your confusion. I was confused at first too. The poster "wengle" is incorrect. Follow the instruction of JDMather...and look at the image he posted.
Good Luck!! |

I know about the new function but even if I make sure he is on solid, he wil make surface... my steps,
View SW isometric.
make a circle by pressing c enter.
Than I make a region from this circle (it isnt nessesary but now I am sure he is closed)
I copy the circle over the Z axle
press loft mode is on solid...
And still he make a surface
(it doesnt make anny sence what for object it is...)

I see. Ok, I followed your steps and produced a "3DSOLID". I also tried it with a Circle and with a Region and both were the same. That leads me to believe that it may be a lofting setting in your system that could be set incorrectly.
Here are my lofting System Variable settings: LOFTANG1 = 90d LOFTANG2 = 90d LOFTMAG1 = 0.0000 LOFTMAG2 = 0.0000 LOFTNORMALS = 1 LOFTPARAM = 7 Maybe you can try setting yours to the same and trying again? Good Luck!! |
