![IMG\_ Hi everyone,

I have a question about the Loft tool in Shapr3D.

When I use Loft, I can no longer create a continuous loft around a closed circular path. I remember this was possible in previous versions of Shapr3D.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue? If so, is there a workaround or a way to fix it?

Thanks in advance!|666x500](upload://8CJh3dGPF3b9RCGXKXnMQum4hhY.jpeg)

Hi @duongtran, 😃

Have you tried to enable **Periodic Loft** under the Loft parameters? This creates a closed, continuous loft by connecting the last section profile back to the first.
