Can anyone tell me why loft never works right the first time? Why do i always have to untwist it?

I cant even un-twist this one.

Hi,

 

Well you can un-twist it, by selecting the original shape, and going to its sub-object levels,

There you can play around with the vertices and segments while seeing the Loft object

Thanks @miledrizk I like that method better then using the twist  deformation.

Markr,

 

Before you create your loft object you can check the vertex positions of your shapes, you want your #1 vertex for each shape to line up as best as possible.  If they don't you can reset which is the #1 vertex, with the Make First button on the \Editable Spine\Geometry rollout.
