Lines aren't showing up in drawings...

So I needed to make a dome-like feature and the only way I could get something that looked even close to what I was modeling was to use the loft tool. I've attached the model of what I'm talking about (it's Inventor 2010) The problem is when I try to make a drawing for it, it won't show some of the lines on the dome feature. The only way the loft would work was if I checked the "closed loop" button. I tried checking the box in the drawing saying show tangent faces or something like that and that didn't work either. Is there an easier way to make this work?

Hi Econdron,

 

Can you provide a picture of what the loft should look like?

 

I hope this helps.

Hi Econdron,

 

I think you can simply things a bit, and loft from the point to the edge, and then use the Condtions tab to set the tangents and weight, as shown here. Then the tangent corner lines show up in the drawing when the Tangent Lines drawing option is turned on.

You might need to edit the drawing view to show tangent edges and/or interference edges.
