Loft with guide curves Problem!!

Loft with guide curves Problem!!

Loft with guide curves Problem!!

(OP)
Hi,

Ive been trying to use the loft with guided curves and though I am able to complete it, its not giving me the result I wanted.

The blue line is output I am getting, I need the curve to intersect at point I highlighted.

The Sketches are in right planes and are not proportional.

 

RE: Loft with guide curves Problem!!

Vijay,

I am not sure what you are trying to do.

If you want to control the shape with precision, then that is probably the wrong approach.

Lofts are not very easily controlled.  Here are some ideas that I had:
1.) add a profile at the point you want the loft to intersect.
2.) change the order of guide curves in the guide curves selecton box.  If you move one guide curve above another the loft will follow it more closely.  

Let me know if you need any more help with this.

RE: Loft with guide curves Problem!!

Seeing your sketches would be more helpful but, it may be the manner in which you're selecting your profile sketches as well. As Mike mentioned, the order in which you selected your guide curves can cause problems as well.
Is it possible for you to upload the file?
