Is it possible to loft with 2 Guide rails

Post by Paulmac66 »

I have 2 sections i want to create a solid between the 2 sketches, which works fine as a loft, but i need to control the loft with 2 guide curves, the bottom edge is flat/planar, the top edge is a radius.
i have used additive pipe which works but again only allows 1 guide curve

i am used to using much higher end Cad systems (CATIA, NX, Solid Edge, Solid Works...), and this is simple to do.
But i am a total Newbie on Freecad

Thanks for any help

Just add it. It takes up almost no resources.

If you don't like the addon its easily removed. They are modules.
