Setting Loft Continuity: [Start Magnitude / End Magnitude]

Setting Loft Continuity: [Start Magnitude / End Magnitude]

When adding a loft to the edges of an existing surface or solid, you can set the continuity using Start Magnitude and End Magnitude.

Procedure:

[1] Prepare the existing loft shape.

[2] On the Surface tab, click [Loft Surface].


When creating an additional loft, the elements selected as loft curves must be surface edges.
Notes
If the second selection is also a surface edge, you can set the End Magnitude.
Warning
If you select the original loft’s sketch (profile lines), Start Magnitude cannot be specified.

[3] Select the surface edge and the sketch or other geometry to which the loft will be added. Then select Start Magnitude:


Notes
Creates a loft that connects curves directly in a straight manner.
Tangent (G1): Creates a loft tangent-continuous with the original surface.
Curvature (G2): Creates a loft curvature-continuous with the original surface.
