Is loft the right tool for this?
Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2023 4:04 pm
Hi,
I am using FreeCAD 0.21 (also have Link Daily version installed, if needed) on Linux Mint (Ubuntu) 21. The relevant FC file is attached and here are screenshots of the parts and the issue: What I am trying to do is smoothly join the corners of the rectangles so that I have four surfaces defined. I had thought the PartDesign -> Loft tool would get me what I want, but as you can see, there is interpolation between points that I don't want.
In OpenSCAD I had been able to accomplish this by creating paths and using a spline/bezier type tool. But it was clunky and I'd like to accomplish the same thing in FC.
I tried playing around with the Curves and Surface workbenches, as well as looked through other downloadable macros/workbenches. But I don't seem to be finding the right tool or workflow.
Can anyone point out how to accomplish this? Ultimately, I am trying to create a piece that looks like this Thanks in advance for any help.
