Close loft into a domed surface??- Solidworks question
Close loft into a domed surface??- Solidworks question
(OP)
I want to close a lofted shell in SOlidworks 2001... sorta like a dome, but I want much more control over the surface and the tangency to the rest of the part than 'dome' provides.
What is the best way to do this?
Thanks!

RE: Close loft into a domed surface??- Solidworks question
- create an axis that will be the revolution axis of your shell
- create as many planes you need,trough this axis, equaly spaced in a total of 180º
- in each plane create the desired profile
- create another plane perpendicular those previously created planes, that will be the shell's bottom (it must be coincident with the profileslast point)
- in this plane create a desired control curve
- pierce the control curve and profiles
- create the loft with adequate tangency conditions
- mirror de loft to have a closed shell
