Lofting for 3D

Hi!, Good day this time I will show you how to "Loft" a 2D object to 3D.

1. Create a circle with a diameter of 20mm and copy that exact same circle 30mm above the original.

2. Create a vertical line on the side of both circles as shown below.
Note:
Make sure to connect the two circle to the line by using snap command.














3. Type"Loft" at the command prompt. If it ask "Select cross section in lofting order:" select the bottom circle and the upper circle respectively then hit enter.
Note: You may select the upper circle first depending on your drawing preference.

4. When AutoCAD asks you to enter an option, type "Guides" or the letter "G" then hit enter.
Note: We prefer to teach you the guides command first in order for you to fully understand the "Loft" command.

5. Select and click the line connecting both circles.
6. Now we have a 3D object from circles and a line.
