Loft creation issue

I am new to inventor 7. I am trying to take a rectangle beam and twist it 90 through an axis. I've tried to creat a loft feature between to sketch planes, but have had no luck in controlling the end points. I have not been able to creat a proper rail so far. Any advise here would be greatly appreicated.

Does Sheet Metal allow one to twist bend a rectanglar beam?

Thanks,
Troy A. Della Fiora

I will post a part to IVCF under subject twisted rectangle. See if that is close to what
you want.

Troy, I've posted the example TWISTER in CF. I
tried to do it in one loft but had to do it in 2 to make it work. I think it
could have been done in one loft if you construct all of the 3d lines
first. Anyway it should give you some ideas.

Kent, I played with your IPT and changed the revolutions

to do what I think he is talking about.
great way of doing it though.

Just re-map the corners to the 90deg corners.

Yeah, after I posted it I went back and reread the question and noticed he only wanted a
1/4 turn. but as you said it is easy to change the parameters.
