Creation Method rollout
You can choose between a shape or a path for creating the loft object using the Creation Method rollout, as well as the type
of action for the loft object.
Interface
On the Creation Method rollout, you determine whether to use a shape or path for creating the loft object, and the type of
action you want for the resulting loft object.
Note 3ds Max builds the loft at the location of the first object you select: if you select a path and use Get Shape, it appears at the
location of the path, and if you select a shape and use Get Path, it appears at the location of the shape.
- Get Path
-
Assigns a path to the selected shape or changes the current assigned path.
- Get Shape
-
Assigns a shape to the selected path or changes the current assigned shape.
TipHold down Ctrl while getting the shape to flip the direction of the shape's Z axis.
- Move/Copy/Instance
-
Lets you specify how the path or shape is transferred to the loft object. It can be moved, in which case no copy is left behind,
or transferred as a copy or an instance.
TipUse the Instance option if you expect to edit or modify the path after the loft is created.
