Loft ending angle

[calexpavel]

So i am creating this loft but at the top it turns/rotates too much and i need to cap it. Is there any way to control that angle?

@calexpavel,

You can control this by switching the condition at the ending profile from "Connected" to "Direction", and then you can adjust the "takeoff weight":

Just curious about why you are doing this loft in the Sculpt environment.  The Model or Patch loft is a lot more accurate, if you want to closely match the profiles.  A Sculpt loft is perfectly valid, but just wanted to make through you were doing this intentionally.

2 ways come to mind

1-connect the profiles with a spline rail

2- add an extra profile, and cut the tspline back after the loft

Thanks Jeff! I tried your solution but i hoped there's a better way, since doing that makes a small bulge and i want a straight line. I am doing this in t-splines because i want to further edit the shape of it and t-splines seems more flexible when working with organic shapes.

Hmm...your second way seems good. Loft with rail i tried but i can't make it look good. I need to keep practicing loft with rails. 

Cheers!

Hey Jeff,

Could i loft the object in the model context and then import it in the sculpt context and further edit it there?

[jeff_strater]

Yes and no.  You can create the loft in Model/Patch, then create a new Form feature, and from within the Sculpt workspace, you can use Convert to convert a single face to a Sculpt body.  It is limited to one face, though.  In your case, you can do this, but it is not true in all cases.   However, as a glimpse under the hood, this is how the Sculpt Loft command works internally, so the results will be the same, so it doesn't really help you much.

I see. It's good to know. Thanks!
