hello! i am trying to make a bean-shaped lofted body. i created a small ellipse at the top and bottom of the shape, two spline side rails in the front view, and two spline side rails in the right view. as far as i can tell all the endpoints of the splines are snapped to the ovals (white dot inside at each point.) when i select all six elements, i don’t see loft appear as a tool option. could someone help me resolve this? thank you!
Here’s a different approach using Loft. I made two ellipses at 90deg and replaced one half of one ellipse with a spline. This method is quite tricky because small variations in the spline will create an invalid body.
@TigerMike and @Xdrakosha thanks so much for your responses! i think the revolve oval approach could work. i am a beginner so i may be missing something. i selected the plane, created the ellipse in sketch, made an axis line, chose revolve / selected the ellipse + the axis, saw the shape, but when i completed the action i got an error message. what am i doing wrong? here is a video: https://youtu.be/QFyIr0KnjiI thank you!!
i appreciate your help @TigerMike and @Xdrakosha! i am getting the kind of shape i was looking for, which is great. is there a way to mesh them together so you don’t see the the lines from the subtract and fillet actions?
