I work at a factory that makes precast concrete elements. When we have an order including 1/2- or 1/4-turn stairs, I use the guide function alot, as each side often has a different amount of edges on the bottom. If the number of edges are unequal, disregarding this will make the face twist on itself. I draw lines from side to side, making triangles where I want 2 end points to meet at a single point on the other side. As I use the 3D model to calculate the volume and weight (mass command), it is important that the model is as accurate as possible. I DID learn a few new tricks here, so I'll try to explore them next time. :)

Excellent tutorial!! Very detailed, clear and easy to follow. I found this very useful, much better than other tutorials out here. Thanks.

Welcome Tim

@johan fasth , Yes you can make MINOR changes in loft geometry like changing curvature at cross sections but no major change can be performed on it.

thank you 4 your tutorial ........ i LIKE IT .......👍👍👍🙏

[@Maratha997]

Thanks very much ,fees dekar bhi itna sikhaneko nahi mila

[@abijithsreenivas6961]

Bro nice 👍. Can you show how to make plastic bottle thread. I made , but don’t know how to draw starting and ending if thread in 3d. I mean how a thread start Marge with bottle?

Nice lecture about LOFT command but one thing I felt is, how to make shell in that geometry after being lofted?, Please sir guide us about how to make hole or shell. Thanks

[@alialkadhi5052]

thanks for this information, how can know after drawing the rectangles in which face they are, is there any way to know, for example, if i select a rectangle and go to properties, how can i know this rectangle in which face. Thanks in advance

Hi, just curious to know what happens to those path lines after creating, it will be deleted automatically or we've to manually select and delete them?

[@roughbook357]

[@yashomitasharma3655]

[@vishalsuryvanshi8958]

Sir twice click karna h ki ni

[@geokani]

1:45 i got a problem friend when i select the smal circle and try to move it up all the shapes move up. why that happens?

[@sourcecad]

+geo summerholder that should not happen! try deselecting every geometry and then select only smaller circle and make sure you follow Z axis as shown in video. Let me know if issue persists

[@geokani]

+SourceCAD i select only the small circle,when i move it up on z direction all geometry shapes movie up. maybe is a problem of my autocad 2016 version i dont know.

[@sourcecad]

there can be many reasons behind this like you might have grouped all objects together or you may have created them as a block, try to explode this geometry and then try it for exploding select geometries then type X on command line and press enter

[@hawretarq7020]

most of the time when i make a path it says it not valid

[@FLaP2314]

is there a way to use LOFT in 2d modeling?

[@sourcecad]

No, loft command can only be used for 3D drawings

[@fawadfawad9267]

Bro it's not working in autocad 2007

[@tomcyrus7214]

idiot. in 2017 . you are looking for 2007....

[@ramaswamynarayan2603]

I have rigorously followed your instructions for using the loft tool, but I am not able to get it, inspite of my best efforts. Could you help me out. / N.Ramaswamy

[@sourcecad]

Ramaswamy Narayan what exactly is the issue you are facing while using loft command?

[@akshaykamble724]

Very good
