Creating multiple lofts in one sketch

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have a set of 7 planes, each with a circular pattern of 8 components. I want to create 8 lofts, connecting each alligned component in all 7 planes. So each loft will go through 7 parts. However, when I create a loft for one of the components, I lose the option to create lofts for the other components in the same sketch.

 

Is there a way to create multiple lofts from a single sketch? This would be ideal as I don't really want to manually make each component in a separate sketch (this would make 56 sketches total).

 

Here is the link for the Fusion file: (https://a360.co/3FKn668), as well as screenshots of what I'm trying to do (the red lines in the 2nd picture are the lofts I'm trying to make, but as you can see in the 1st picture I don't get the option to select the other parts of the sketch after pressing loft again)loft.PNGproblem.PNG.

 

Thank you in advance!

Can you explain what the overall goal of the design is ?

Your design file is names "nose structure". Is this supposed to be the nose of an aircraft ?

@Anonymous - it looks from the design as if you figured out the answer to your question:  You just need to make each sketch visible again after it is consumed, then you can create more lofts from it.

 

I'm curious, though, why you chose surface loft for these lofts.  Is that what you want?  Do you want the output to be surfaces instead of solids?
