NX 7.5 lofting command

NX 7.5 lofting command

NX 7.5 lofting command

(OP)
Does anyone know if NX has a loft command? A loft command is similar to a sweep, but without having to draw a path/guideline for the sweep to follow. For example, you can draw a square on one X-Y plane and then a circle 20 in away on another X-Y plane, and using a loft command, you can extrude the square to the circle, creating a unique shape. I am using NX 7.5 btw.

In NX, this is called "through curves".
Look in the Insert -> mesh surface menu location.

John,

My appologies. The reason for my response was due to the fact that the attached model was hollow, when I should have stated that the part must be a solid piece. Thank you for your help, I will use the 'Surface thru Curves' function as you suggested!

RE: NX 7.5 lofting command

Edit the feature, expand the "settings" section of the dialog (if necessary), and change the "body type" from sheet to solid, press OK. You now have a solid.
