Can not get loft tool to work.

kailan_heath

Loft keeps giving me error Loft did not generate: would create self intersecting body. I am trying to loft two profiles together and can not figure out why it won't work.

I can't see the loft command, please take a screen shot showing the error, or make your document  public so we can edit the feature and take a peek.

I would guess the problem is you need to match verticies, or create guides. That is a common problem.

Hello @kailan_heath,

I would try to avoid creating profiles that end at a sharp point. There are different profile option in the database that will produce a rounded edge at the base of the profile. However, if you have a specific profile that you want to use that ends at a point, you can simply sketch a small spline or arc at the end of the profile.


Here are is an example. 





After adding a spline to the end of each profile the loft feature can be created. Let us know how you make out and good luck!
