Creating seamless transitions between two lofts
I am trying to make a helmet and I thought it was done, but when I exported it into blender for texturizing I noticed that the two main lofts I made for the helmet are not joined smoothly and there's a crease. I think it may be related, but there's also a gap in the two halves of the helmet on one side after I mirror the…

Loft or Sweep Triangle Shape around Cylinder
Hi all, I am looking for a bit of advice on how I can loft from one triangle on the base of a cylinder to a smaller one on the top whilst flowing around a curve on the outer face of the cylinder. I have tried to create some paths around the cylinder but I am unable to get the lofted triangle to 'hug' the cylinder and…

Loft between circle and a shape?
I have spent a long time trying to work out how to do a loft between 2 simple-ish shapes and cannot get it to work the way I wanrt. I want the loft between the 2 shapes below. The diameter of the top shape matches that of the bottom so want that to follow straight up, but I want the other half to curve in and match. All I…

How to make a wing with a point?
I am trying to figure out how to make a wing that goes to a point. So far I made the top down view, which is basically a triangle, and then have the airfoil sketch at the wide end of the triangle. But I can't figure how to use loft to make this shape?

How to make wing with curved bottom? - airfoil tool and/or loft
Hi, I'm working on a project and I'm trying to make a wing that has a curved bottom that progressively gets thinner as it goes along. I've tried using the onshape airfoil script but I can't get the same effect when I loft - instead I get straight lines. I've tried using guides when lofting but that is difficult because…

Creating Multiple Lofts from Linear Pattern of Circle Sketches
Hello, I'm creating a practice 3D print for tapered heat set inserts to determine the right size. I'd like to create an array of lofts between various sized circles on a rectangular prism.

Trying to translate loft() to opLoft() in FeatureScript
Hi featurescript experts, I am trying to loft 2 organic shapes together using Featurescript opLoft() but I am just unable to get it to work, though I am able to achieve the result I want using the user interface which generates code using loft() instead of opLoft(). Here's the link to my test…

Shell tool gives wrong dimensions?
I am trying to make a vacuum nozzle that goes from a ⌀1.2" to a ⌀0.5". I make two sketches, one of them offset above the first by 1 inch, and the bottom circle is ⌀1.2625" and the top circle is ⌀0.5625". I use the loft tool to make a cone-shaped transition between them, and then use the shell tool to make the solid shape a…

Loft pics up unwanted sketch
I'm trying to loft from the larger circle to a smaller circle but the edge of the cylinder auto-projects onto the plan and the loft tool picks it up. Is there a way to suppress the projection of the edge of the cylinder onto the sketch plane? Please see gif

lofting two pipes together
I've used the pipe custom feature to create two different diameter pipes and am trying to connect them using a loft. While I can use edges to do a surface loft, I can't use the end faces of the pipe to do a solid loft. I get an error saying you can't use faces/regions with inner loops. Is there a way around this? Most of…
