Making lofted cuts
- [Instructor] The lofted cut works very similar to your regular loft feature. You can have as many profiles and guide curves as you'd like, but in this example here I just have the two profiles. So let me show you how it works. Because I do have an existing block, I'm able to use the two faces of the block to create the sketches. So that makes it a little bit easier, and you don't have to create any extra planes out there to start sketching on. So the first thing I want to do is choose the profiles here, and then come up here to Lofted Cut. Now automatically it creates that feature for me. I'm able to see what's happening. The only problem is because it's on the inside of the shape, it makes it a little bit more difficult to see what's really going on. So you might want to switch over to, instead of a shaded mode, maybe to something like a wire frame. That way, you can kind of see into the shape a little bit better to see what's happening.
