loft is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command computes a skinned (lofted) surface passing through
a number of NURBS curves. There must be at least two curves
present. The NURBS curves may be surface isoparms, curve on
surfaces, trimmed edges or polygon edges.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Argument types |
Properties |
-uniform(-u)
|
boolean
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
If set to true, the resulting surface will have uniform parameterization in the loft direction. If set to false, the parameterization will be chord length.
Default: false
|
|
-close(-c)
|
boolean
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
If set to true, the resulting surface will be closed (periodic) with the start (end) at the first curve. If set to false, the surface will remain open.
Default: false
|
|
-degree(-d)
|
int
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
The degree of the resulting surface
Default: 3
|
|
-autoReverse(-ar)
|
boolean
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
If set to true, the direction of the curves for the loft is computed automatically. If set to false, the values of the multi-use reverse flag are used instead.
Default: true
|
|
-reverse(-r)
|
boolean
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif) ![edit edit](../gfx/edit.gif)
|
|
Multi-use flag; each occurence of the flag refers to the matching curve in the loft operation; if the flag is set the particular curve will be reversed before being used in the loft operation.
Default: false
|
|
-reverseSurfaceNormals(-rsn)
|
boolean
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
If set, the surface normals on the output NURBS surface will be reversed. This is accomplished by swapping the U and V parametric directions.
Default: false
|
|
-sectionSpans(-ss)
|
int
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
The number of surface spans between consecutive curves in the loft.
Default: 1
|
|
-createCusp(-cc)
|
boolean
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif) ![edit edit](../gfx/edit.gif)
|
|
Multi-use flag; each occurence of the flag refers to the matching curve in the loft operation; if the flag is set the particular profile will have a cusp (tangent break) in the resulting surface.
Default: false
|
|
Advanced flags |
-caching(-cch)
|
boolean
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
|
|
-nodeState(-nds)
|
int
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information.
Note: For advanced users only.
|
|
Common flags |
-name(-n)
|
string
|
|
|
Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains
namespace path, the new node will be created under the
specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it
will be created.
|
|
-constructionHistory(-ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off
|
|
-object(-o)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Create the result, or just the dependency node
|
|
-polygon(-po)
|
int
|
|
|
The value of this argument controls the type of the object
created by this operation
- 0: nurbs surface
- 1: polygon (use nurbsToPolygonsPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
- 2: subdivision surface (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the parameters for the conversion)
- 3: Bezier surface
- 4: subdivision surface solid (use nurbsToSubdivPref to set the
parameters for the conversion)
|
|
-range(-rn)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Force a curve range on complete input curve
|
|
-rebuild(-rb)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Rebuild the input curve(s) before using them in the operation. Use nurbsCurveRebuildPref to set the parameters for the conversion.
