SOLIDWORKS: Better Lofts And Boundaries In 3 Easy Steps

[@aignemcgeady-bruce3847]

Wow... I have been rapidly losing brain cells trying to get my lofts to look how I want them. This will definitely be reducing the rate of loss significantly!! Thanks so much for the great info and presentation!

Very helpful. Attempting to loft a hexagon shape to a square and not having the same number of line segments in square profile was causing unwanted results. I added the additional line segment to the square profile. Problem solved. Thanks for sharing. :)

Fantastic tutorial and speaking in general, thank you!

Great video! One more tip, if you are lofting surfaces, dragging the endpoint/connector can reduce the end surface profile to a size you want. For example if you know you want to loft between two curves on a complex shape, but in the end you may want to do a boundary fill between sections, you can move the endpoints around limiting the end result while still driving the tangency/curvature continuity.

Very informative and helpful in saving time in the learning curve.... Thanks!

Great video, clear and concise. Thanks for the help!

Thank you very much. I was in a bit of a fuss on lofting two irregular surfaces, your tutorial saved my day. Thanks again.

yes, this is the video that answers all my questions. thank you!!!

I Did not know about the "Show All Connectors" and "Edit Connectors" functions inside the Loft Feature. Whenever I'd run into Loft issues of this nature I would end up rolling back and making a 3D sketch with straight lines defining where I wanted the loft to go and use them as "Guide Curves" to constrain the Loft into the shape I wanted. This was not always successful. The Edit Connectors seems like a much simpler solution to this method. Additionally, sometimes I would run into the "Unequal Sketch Entities" error as well and would end up making say... 3 Lofts, instead of using one of these shown methods and making it out of a single one. So thanks for this informative video!

Fantastic tools you showed, thank you so much!

Tremendous 🎉vid, thank you so much

I wish I viewed this video a while ago. Thank you!

[@thesuperjed1]

Great tips! Thank you 🙏

I was looking for lofted feature to model drop-in T nut.i tried several times to create a perfect curve with loft but failed to come out with one.thank you so much will try with the features mentioned in the video.

I make a lot of two-profile lofts to simulate bent wire routing in wire harnesses. After picking the two profiles, I need to have the following settings as default: - Start/End Constraints -Start constraint: -Normal To Profile -End constraint: -Normal To Profile - Options - Un-check Merge result If I could have these default settings active every time I start SolidWorks it would save me a ton of time!

Perfect! Really thanks...

This was outstanding

[@yashsheth8343]

Very helpful video! 👍

[@Tubepkp]

Wow!

[@ifigetbannedagainyoutubeis2018]

The show all connectors is a lifesaver wish I knew it before. would've saved me a lot time trying to fix all the relations after using split entities

[@hughessay1372]

Very helpful--Thanks!

Thanks

God bless...

[@bendhoward]

That spline fit seems like a pretty ugly hack to me… I’m surprised guide curves were completely left out of this video.
