In API (C++ if possible), how does one Close a Cyclic Loft and keep it Continuous and Normal (Perpendicular) at the Junction Section?

Well there is API available to close the loft. May I know Are you looking for API for a option available in Fusion UI but not supported through API.

Hi Goyals,

I would like the flexibility of using API itself with C++ Script to close the Loft.

What are the C++ Script Code lines to do this please?

What do you mean by “cyclic loft”?

One that closes back on itself?

If so I think it would be easier to just create two halves and join them.

Actually in UI there is a check button to close the loft automatically but unfortunately it is not exposed through API. I thought it is there but checking it realised me, this part is missing. Well I am not sure when we would be able to resolve it so falling back to some workaround as suggested in other reply might be solution for now. I kept a note of it and We will update you once that functionality is available through API.

Thanks Goyals,

As you mentioned will be on the lookout for closing a loft by API.
