- Initiate the Lofted Surface feature, and select the nearest edge segments from adja-
cent tubes. If the loft preview twists, use the light-blue handles to straighten it out or
deselect and reselect one of the edges in approximately the same location as the other
edge was selected. Expand the End Conditions panel and set each edge to use the
Curvature setting. You may adjust the End Tangent Length option if you want, but keep
in mind that this may make the part asymmetrical.
As a note, you may choose to use the Boundary Surface in the place of the loft. For this
function, the two are similar enough.
