Lofting hollow sections
Lofting hollow sections
(OP)
Is it true that you cannot loft something like a tube cross section into another one? You have to make a solid tube first and then use cut-loft to cut out the inside. If so, is there an easier way to do this? Hopefully I'm wrong as this would be a nice feature for making ports and variable cross section tubes. Thanks.

If your parts thickness is uniform, I would model it solid, then shell it.
