Lofting error message
Lofting error message
(OP)
I am trying to learn lofting today and keep getting this error message:
"Loft 1: Guide curve no. 1 is invalid. It does not intersect with section no. 0."
As far as I can tell, the center of each profile is coincident with an end point of the curve. The curve is a 3d line and each profile was made by creating a plane normal to the curve at each end point. I don't know what section 0 is. I tried sweeping each profile by itself along the curve and that works ok, but the lofting will not work.
Thanks for any suggestions,
John Woodward

RE: Lofting error message
I believe (somebody else correct me if I am wrong) that for a loft the guide curve must intersect the sketch profile itself, not some defined point inside or outside the sketch, like the center. Sweeps are not subject to this limitation. Section 0 is simply the first section you select for the loft.
