I'd like to 'patch' a 3 spline hole in an object I've created. The patch command itself won't work since the hole isn't made of one sketch but two. And loft doesn't seem to work either. Perhaps I'm approaching it from the wrong direction tho?
Does anyone know how I would go about achieving this? I've attached the scene file. Any help much appreciated.
Triangular lofts are to be avoided. Lofts create NURBS surfaces. The control point mesh that determine the shape of a surface is always quadrilinear. When you loft a triangle, you are collapsing the control points of one edge into a single point, called singularity. Approaching that point , the curvature will become uneven and that can result in all sorts of modeing problems e.g. filleting, shelling etc.
In this case, use a patch and check that the resulting edges have smooth curvature (they do).
That patch is creating a trimmed NURBS surface, which is the only other way to create a triangular NURBS surface.

IF you de-select "Chaining" in the UI you can select each boundary spline/edge individually.
