# Lofted Surface
With or without guide lines, surface features are generated between two or more profiles
Instructions for use:
Click to enter the loft surface command, and its interface is displayed as follows.
The functions of each control are as follows:
- Outlines: Can be curves, edges, sketches, polygons, and so on.
Note:
The outline must be curved continuously, such as a rectangle, and need to be rounded before it can be lofted.
Starting constraints: Position, tangent, tangent only available if the outline is an edge of a polygon.
Termination Constraint: Position, tangent, tangent only available if the outline is an edge of a polygon.
Guide line: One or more sketches, splines, etc., the guide line and outline must intersect, controlling the shape of the loft.
Note:The lofted profile cannot be in the same plane as the leader line.
Example: The lofted outline is a sketch and a projection curve, as shown in the following image.
