I was exploring surfacing options in Solidworks when I came across an improved loft tool called Boundary Surface. A kinda longish article on what it does: Link

A Youtube video explaining the tool: Link

Wondering if Catia has an equivalent tool. The major appeal in Boundary Surfaces is the ability to control lofted surface tangency strength (similar to spline tangency control in Caita). If I am right, Loft (multi-sections) in GSD doesn't have tangency control.
 
Blend is great tool where tension strength can be controlled but can guide curves be specified in Blends? Have to explore but so far I've not found such a feature.
 
Multi-Sections surface has been improved to include G2 continutity, and you can use guide curves.
