Beginner to Fusion 360 here, I'm currently trying to reproduce a swiss toolkit and most of the tools have these specific curves leading into the tip of the tool.

I've somehow successfully created the cut by lofting on each face, but when I create a circular pattern to make it for all edges, it only makes a quantity of 3, instead of the selected 4. What is my error? Do I have to tiresomely just manually add in the 4th one?

Hi,

 

Impossible to tell without your file. Please export it and attach to this thread.

Select the axis, not the edges.

looking at your pics, it's probable that the asymmetrical nature of the loft is causing the last instance to fail.  loft should fail in cases like this, but sometimes it just does what you're seeing.  check the symmetry of your input curves, (or attach your .f3d so someone can have a look and not guess.)

Hi! Try expanding the Circular Pattern panel -> Compute Method -> select Adjust. Does it work better now?

Many thanks!
