Lofting help please

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a loft object with 3 shapes along a straight path. I've attached a file with the shapes. I can't get the shape to loft cleanly. (keeps stisting on me and I cant straighten the oval) Any help you can give, I would appreciate!

Hi, i think this is one way to do that.

- Select the line, Compound objects, Loft.

- Change path Parameters to Path Steps

- Click on Get Shape, select the circle, change path to 1

- Click on Get Shape, select the elipse, change path to 2

- Click on Get Shape, Select the rectangle 

- Go to modify panel, Select Shape and click on Compare, select Pick Shape and pick the circle, the elipse and the rectangle. To have a clean mesh, the parent vertices must be aligned, this is where you can have some little tweaking to do, but you at this point you should have a good base.

Hope this will help you.
