Loft Solid

Creation method#

There are two options for creating a Loft Solid node.#

• The first way to create a Loft Solid node is using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need, or words associated with this node.
  • loft, sld
• The second way is to select a Loft Solid node from the menu that opens from the top left.
  • Menu > Tool > Solid > Loft Solid

Ports#

• Surface 1, Surface 2, … — Section surfaces (at least two). Add more surfaces via “add port” in the port menu.
• Degree — Maximum degree of the resulting solid (default: 2).
• Condition — Continuity at first and last profile: Free, Tangent, Normal, Smooth (default: Free).
• Parametrization — How to parametrize along sections: Chord, Centripetal, Iso (default: Chord).
• Ruled — Linear interpolation between sections (default: false).
• Closed — Connect last section back to first (default: false).

Output: Solid — The resulting loft solid.

Steps#

• Create a Loft Solid node.
• Connect the first surface to the first port and the second surface to the second port.
• For more than two surfaces, add ports with “add port” in the port menu and connect the surfaces.
• Optionally set Degree, Condition, Parametrization, Ruled, or Closed.
• The result solid appears on the output port.
