Hello,
Does anyone have any idea on how to loft this corner?
It seems simple and straight forward. What am I doing wrong here?
I have used similar functions in other software without issue, Any idea on how to loft this correctly?
Or a different process to achieve a nice capped corner?
Cheers
Lofting a corner
You need a single rail curve, can you chain select where you have 3 rails. And as I asked in your other post, can you export your f3d file and attach?

I would loft to a point by using the sides as rails

Hi,
Please try this method with a sweep, worked for me so I hope it will work for you as well

In this case Sweep visually looks fine but only because we deal with an arc fillet and tangent planes!
With G2 fillets this fails - just be aware of it

Yes, it's not functional, I just thought it might work for this issue, although loft should solve this

Actually not at the moment. Loft lacks the tools for it when dealing with G2 or non circular geometry.
Mainly the G1 G2 option for rails are missing - but should be added soon.

It's tricky even to notice it when using loft
Although it works

All poking in the dark without the OPs model. All his edges are made from 3 curves, assuming it's 2 lines and an arc there could be problems if the lines are not tangent to the arc.
Mark
Edit One edge has 4 curves, I think that puts a sharp corner in there unless the 2 top faces are coplanar. Not sure how loft will deal with that.

by the way, extruding then lofting seems to work just fine, don't you think?

Yes, having the model always reduces the effort of finding the answer, but most of the people posting in forums make us ask for it

how did you build that solid model
this one is going to be a pain to fix/repair.

can be that through exports the original data got lost or changed but this is a total mess
rebuilding will be faster - however to be honest I think Fusion currently is not able to do this sufficiently.
their tools are more focused on easy simple geometry and not something like this which has uneven sides

You're beyond helping my friend, this model is really messed up ...
Nothing accurate to use ... I think that the patch is the best thing to do with all this, other than that forget it
I recommend you as @cekuhnen said above to rebuild the model, it will be a lot faster for you and your client

I exported the design as STEP to open it in MOI which is a cheap Rhino clone and a basic NURBS modeler (pretty easy to use and quite powerful).
The colored edges are the raw surfaces. I untrimmed all the details to see how the design was constructed to see if there is something I can do with
it but the parts are such a mess ...
Also I took another try on the model and cannot build it with a surface perfection I expect. The geometry is pretty crazy.
So my question is how far can you rebuild and clean it up for your client? Fusion 100% lacks the ability to do what you want.
However the data the client gave you is also plan crazy
There are plenty of inaccuracies - lazy edges, edges that have sharp and not smooth transitions and such.
If you can adjust those then this model can be rebuild much easier in Fusion.
