Loft should use surface edges as rail direction

cekuhnen · ‎02-09-2017

Loft with rails in fusion using as a blend surface tool is pretty tricky.

You need way too often rails to define the result.

In all other surfacing programs this is not needed as the code is smart enough to understand how

the edge condition should be.

you can see the issue loft is positional along the edges

to get what I want I have to add a lot of extra steps making sketches trimming and such - this works just blows up the timeline

The additional issue is that besides more work - having to make 3D sketches - in those 3D sketches it is nearly

impossible to create good and consistent aka equal blend curves for the rails

On MOI for example you just select the edges to blend between and the surface fits perfectly

notice how well the edges blend

Changing this into Future consideration - we are chasing this down and will keep you posted on our progress.

In addition, we need to be able to control tangent surface to these "surface" edges used as rails. I am currently fighting this.

Can not do this intent with Sculpt.

Surface (Patch) fails as well.
