In the Form contextual environment, the Loft command creates a smooth T-Spline body that transitions between two or more sketch profiles or faces in Fusion.
Design > Form > Create > Loft
The Loft dialog displays options for the currently selected profile. Select the profile label in the graphics window to modify options for that profile.
Select the sketch, edge, or face for the profile.
- Reorder Click to change the order of the profiles in the Loft.
End condition Controls the transition away from the start and end profiles of the Loft. The end conditions available depends on the type of geometry selected for the profile.
Add Adds a row to the profile table.
Remove Removes the selected profile row.
Rail Rails are 2D curves or 3D curves that affect the Loft shape between sections. You can add any number of rails to refine the shape of a Loft. Rails must intersect each section, and must terminate on or beyond the first and last sections. Rails must be tangent continuous.
Centerline A centerline is a type of rail to which the Loft sections are held normal, which causes behavior like a sweep path. Centerline lofts maintain a more consistent transition between the cross-sectional areas of selected Loft sections. Center lines follow the same criteria as rails, except they need not intersect the sections, and only one can be selected.
Add Adds a row the table.
Remove Removes the selected row from the table.
Enable to connect the first and last profiles to create a closed Loft.
Available when the end condition is set to Direction. Specifies the amount of influence the takeoff angle has along the Loft path.
Available when the end condition is set to Direction. Specifies the start angle of the transition from the profile.
Available when the end condition is Tangent, Smooth, or Point Tangent.
Controls how the number of faces is determined along the length of the Loft.
Available for Curvature type. Determines the number of faces required to keep the T-Spline Loft within the specified deviation.
Available for Uniform type. The specified number of faces are distributed evenly along the Loft.
Controls how the faces are distributed around the profiles of the Loft.
Available for Curvature type. Determines the number of faces required to keep the T-Spline Loft within the specified deviation.
Available for Uniform type. The specified number of faces are distributed evenly around the Loft.
Specifies the effect the Loft has on the design.
