So I have a, like an oval shape here, or a obround, and then I've got a circle, and I've created a lofted feature there which is a surface. Now, if I want to continue on with this shape with another loft, you might want to create some guide curves to define that shape. And you probably want that curvature to be the same as your existing surface, and you can do that by adding a couple of relationships. The first thing I need to do is I need to take this point right here. I need to attach it over here. So I'm going to choose this edge here, hold down control, and choose that point.
