Good to know

  • Click more than two faces to loft through each of them in turn; clicking a picked face again drops it.
  • Ruled joins the sections with straight sides, and Closed joins the last section back to the first.

FeaturesHollow a solid with ShellShell hollows a solid out to an even wall thickness, leaving open the faces you pick — a box becomes a tray, a block becomes a casing. ModelingSweep a profile along a path with Follow MeFollow Me drives a flat face along a path of lines or curves and leaves the solid it sweeps out: a pipe from a circle, a handrail, a moulding round a corner.
