The Form or t-spline loft will only show up in the shortcuts box if you’re in an active Form environment. Notice how the Surface loft command shows up, but the Form loft command does not. I’m going to activate the loft command from the shortcuts box, where I’ll choose the blue solid modeling version. I’ll use the dimensions of 100mm in both directions.Īt this point, we have the minimum requirement for creating a loft in Fusion 360. Once the construction plane is completed I’m going to create a center rectangle off of the offset plane. I’m going to create an offset plane 100mm off of the XY origin plane. We’ll need to create the second profile on a construction plane since we don’t have any other faces or surfaces to reference. I’m going to create a 100mm center circle on the bottom XY origin plane. Let’s start with a basic loft project, where I’ll walk you through many of the options in the loft dialog. Each loft feature does have some small differences that I’ll be covering near the end of this tutorial. Lastly, we have the form loft command, which is only available if you’re in the Form or sculpt environment.Īt their core, all of these loft commands work similarly. The surface modeling loft command, found under the “create” dropdown of the surface tab. We have the solid modeling loft command, found under the “create” dropdown of the solid tab. To start, you should know that the loft command is available in 3 different environments. Using the loft feature will join the selected profiles, resulting in a solid or surface. Put simply, the loft command is like connecting the dots. If you’re looking for the advanced tips and tricks then you can skip ahead by using the timestamp that I have down below in the video description.

I’ll also be walking you through both a beginner and a more advanced loft example, with step-by-step instructions. I’m going to cover many of the options in the Loft dialog. By the end of this video, you’ll know how to use the loft command in Fusion 360.
