I am currently modeling a sewage system where there is a rectangular pipe that turns into a cylindrical pipe (half pipe, with radius on bottom) as it goes over a drop and continues in this cylindrical nature until it reaches the ground. so I need to loft from a rectangular vertical section to a curved section over the course of a drop that is mostly vertical but with some horizontal offset. Does anyone know the best way to do this?
Thanks!
Is this for AutoCAD or is it for Inventor?

I was originally working in Inventor Fusion, but as that lacks the loft command, I switched over to AutoCAD 2013.

Hi! The attached image is not that clear to show the design intent. If you are using Inventor Loft, the guide rail must be tangent continuous. It cannot contain a sharp corner. If you cannot figure it out, please attach the ipt file here.
Thanks!
