Lofting a rectangle to a circle along a curve of 90 deg

This should be simple, but I can’t figure it out…

Like so?

We’ve already been through all of this in the topic about cooling for the 3D printer.

Or that wasn’t you?

Lofting between two faces

I’m trying to create a loft from the tip of my cooling duct to an inlet above it. I’d like the loft to follow a smooth curve. I’ve watched every LOFT tutorial I can find, and they all seem to show how to loft between planes (circles, rectangles etc). But I want to loft from my duct exit to its entrance. And I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do it. Here’s my current cooling duct. Currently the duct travels vertically, and then sweeps outwards in an arc. I want the arc to begin a…

Hi Alex. Unfortunately, it WAS me - but I didn’t realise it was basically the same thing. My apologies. I’ll go back to the cooling duct and figure it out…
Thanks mate,

A loft is always a loft. To create the desired shape, you need to define profiles along the path — that’s the basic principle.

Thanks mate. I don’t know how you guys get this - I really struggle with CAD. But I’ll persevere.
