How to close a duct?

willian_tamagi

Hello friends,

Is there any way to kind of close a duct that I have the start part and the end part, I just need to "close" this path? I tried the sweep feature but didn't work because the parts don't have the same size and they aren't aligned.

I believe the loft tool will get you there, use guides to help control the shape.

This one's a bit tricky, for the profiles are a bit odd, but it's feasible when using the derive feature, then cut away the middle part and replace by a loft:

It might be better to remove all the unnecessary features first: Tangencies will be easier to get right, then.
