Full Version: Modeling A Finger

I'm trying to create a "finger" that I can reuse . However, I cannot get the loft to follow the 3d curve.
Can anyone shed light if I'm doing something wrong?
Thanks
Tom
I have attached a video and scene file ( 2012.1)

Parasolid can do it with the new Loft command's Centerline option, see video.

Thanks Kev,
It worked...but

If I move a cross-section "reattaching" the 3d curve gets lost.

That's true, you do have to manually edit the centerline after moving the cross sections, they are not "tied" together.

It would be good if the same was possible to do with sweeps. If the start point of the 3D curve is moved the cross-section follows. I guess the same options could be added in the PB when a sweep or a loft is created? Check ER #100159.
