loft question - intersect guide curves with plane

[boffin5]

Got a problem: I am lofting a nose cone, which has a non-circular cross section. I have 4 guide curves, and I need to make an additional cross section between the base and the tip. But when I try to create points by intersecting an intermediate plane with the guide curves, I get a message: "failed to create reference point"

I need to intersect these guide curves to create the cross section. What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance,

Make your plane, and just start sketching your cross-section right there. You can use "pierce" constraint to constrain a point to where the guide curves intersect the sketch plane.

Honesty may be the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.

Thank you, Tick; it worked great!

Another question: I know how to move a body (surface) with the move/copy tool, but is there a way to do the same thing with curves? There has to be!

Remove the constraint(s) which are holding the curve in place, then you will be able to drag the end points and centrepoint.
