This would basically be just like doing multiple lofts at once and I think could be a better workflow than making a bunch of smaller lofts. There are quite a few posts asking how to do it like this one.Įven in the more generalized problem where there is more than one enclosed region in the profiles, Fusion could just prompt the user pick the pairs of enclosed regions to tell Fusion how to make the loft. I think it's a common enough use case for lofts that it would be worth it. This case is pretty easy to solve as I explained in my post, and could be automated. Think of making custom tubing like that used in custom bicycle frames and the like. A Loft will naturally take the shortest path through the profiles along its length. Unable to select holes with the Hole and Thread Note command in a Fusion 360 Drawing. On the other hand, it's a pretty common case to try to loft between two profiles that each have only one enclosed region inside them, like two concentric circles for instance. How to create a Loft with guide rails in Fusion. The image below shows the result of lofting all 15 sections without using rails, then creating a mirrored body for the other side of the hull. However, I don't imagine that many people would be trying to loft between two sketches that look like swiss cheese. I switched from Model mode to Patch mode, then went to Create -> Loft.

Yes, if we're talking about the most general problem - creating a loft with any number of enclosed regions within each-other - then that is much more complex and gets into a lot of topology questions. I'm considering this to be the most common special case of a more generalized problem.
