May somebody have a quick look at this?

Hi

 

I'm lost. I have 2 Workplanes and i would like to create a solid.

 

Thank you very much

Andy

Hello Andreas,

yes you could use the loft funktion .

Have a look at the example.
Create the different workplanes and the geometry
Pay attention that the contours have the same number of vertex points
Create from the workplanes a workplane set
Create the match line
Create the loft.
This is described also in the help

Best regards

That's not very easy in Modeling/Express. You only can use extruding functions.

In full version you have some more possibilities with loft and/or surfaces.

As first steps you perhaps should extrude one workplane and then remove some forms with the other workplane direction. After that finishing the details.

Thank's. I think you have all functions as with full version, at least i can see also loft and surfaces functions

    Another short question.

    How can i create a workplane that is perpendicular to another workplane? (And on the position on the line of the other workplane)

    An example would be great

    Hi Andy,

    I think the pictures will explain it to you

    But in reality it is more convenient to copy the existing work plane and to rotate it with the Pole Star 90 °.

      Hi

      Thank's to Ferdinand's help i managed one part lofting my model.

      I have dificulties to loft my head of my modell. I also tried a "Basic sweep" but the result is not what i have expected.

      What i want is that the Matchline ML follows a particular line on another Workplane WP (here W2 on the attachment)... Or i'm completely wrong to solve my head with a loft?

      Thank's for all the help

      Hello Andy,

      If you want to follow this contour you need to start just from this workplane.

      I have copied the workplane w2 three times and adjusted the geometry approximately with scale to the predetermined shapes of s1.

      The inner contour must also be provided with a Matchline
