Hello guys i'm trying to obtain this twisted shape (check the pink image) on this file(first image)and I figured one way i could do it would be by rotating the rail handles in the loft as you can see by the third image, however I have 4 rails and only 2 handles on the same side this keeps me from having a full twist. can someone help me? either with a new way to get thissame shape or with solving this loft thing
help about twisting loft handles
The white dots in the Loft preview are "point mapping" points. If multiple sections in your lofts have different number of points, you sometimes will need to adjust this mapping manually. Those points are draggable. You can drag them one at a time, or if you double click on one, you can drag the points for the whole loop together. See the screencast below.
But, you may want to take a closer look at your sketches - there may be too many fit points, if you are using spline curves, or there may be a mis-match of the number of points in each section, which may drive the automatic point mapping to give undesirable results. If you share your model here, lots of people will want to take a look at it.

So how would you want to handle this ?
there are 77 unnamed sketches in your design. there're any number of Form environments in the design, some with and without content. You;ve got a number of red icons indicating failed operations.
Could you delete all the stuff that is superfluous to help us concentrate on the important bits ?
Do you have an image of the end result so we can see what you actually want to create ?
Ah hah!
I'd created this entire vase as a T-Spline. I created this in response to another thread but it applies here as well.

i'm not really used to using that workflow
Right. If you never try, you never will be. A lo of the mechanical heads on this forum are very uncomfortable with T-Splines, bit they (T-Splines) can solve a city of problems a lot faster than working with traditional CAD modeling.
They both have their place and it would be unwise to dismiss either.
Hi so I've been working with tsplines however I come to a problem when trying to extrude the base profile some of the faces overlap as you can see in the pictures i've attached the file if you could be so kind as to check it out! it would help me greatly
Accepted solution
I would not use a sketch for modeling this. IfI would use a sketch I would most likely sketch it using simple splines which are mathematically closer to T-Splines. IN this case I just used plain T-Spline modeling and Fuiosn 360 has got all the tools to easily model this one:
