Two Lofts conjoining, how to remove parts so it creates a "Y" tube.

john_trotto910

I have two lofts that I have created with loft thin command , one from the left curved to a center hole, and one from the right curved to that same center hole.
I need to remove the parts inside them so that the inside of the "Y" shaped tube they create is hollow.
Not sure the best way to go about this.

Or, is there a better way to create a single loft with 3 holes? (from what I could tell you cant do that)

Create the first one as a solid, then mirror with "add" so you get as single part and use the a "shell" feature.

Hard to say without the file, but I'd try to boolean/add them together, then use 'delete face' somewhere to turn it into a surface model. Then maybe keep deleting stuff . . . you might get lucky.

Or, better yet, use @eric_pesty's solution - much cleaner.

I ended up doing something similar I think I used the loft surface and then mirror them and then shelled them.

For some reason I was getting very different looking results if I did The loft command and told it to make a new solid. It had drastically different looking curvature to it compared to using the loft thin or a loft surface command. Even though I was using the same shapes to loft and the same path.

I still feel like this would be a good thing to know how to do in case I run into something similar and can't simply completely redo how I created the shapes in the first place.

Maybe this will work for you?
