Looking for a Fusion 360 command that is equivalent to Csec from Rhino3D

Hi All, In Rhinoceros, I enjoy using the Csec command to quickly make lofted surfaces based on profile curves. The link here from the Rhino site has a simple video showing the technique. I can't seem to find an equivalent technique in Fusion 360. Does anyone know if this is possible in 360 or perhaps a good Rhino command to Fusion command reference table?

Thanks for your help!

 

best regards,

That's kinda slick, thanks for sharing that.  No, Fusion does not have anything as convenient as that for defining loft profiles from a set of rail curves.  You would have to define the sketch planes yourself, and draw the sections yourself.

 

Here's a post i did on the basics of loft and rails:  https://introduction to loft and railsorums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-design-validate/introduction-....  The closest thing to this workflow would be the "rails first" approach.

 

Here is a screencast from that post that describes this method:
