Symetric lofting guidelines problem

Anonymous — Sun, 22 Oct 2017 09:47:38 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to adjust loft lines in a symetric manner in this shape but cant quite get sins I don't have anyway to constrain it when lofting and sometimes after adjusting it it will render the model but won't let it preform the operation after hitting enter.

Also why do the lost lines get messed up when I make that rectangle bigger by choosing another one in parallel as shown below:

This is a loft point mapping issue. Fusion tries to map points from one profile to another. Here are some posts that discuss this:

Another recommendation I would make is: If you are interested in a symmetric shape, I would just model half of it, and then use the Mirror feature to produce the other half. This will make your loft simpler, and guarantee symmetry.

Rails in key spots will help loft understand where it needs to map.

But how is it possible to predict where could it create a point if I want to adjust it?

Also like I said when I adjust my lofting points it knows to render it but can't execute it.
