Loft technique

Here is the Loft technique, this can be used to create a shape using a simple line and then have it filled by using this technique, as you can see I have created a coat hanger using this technique. To create a model to use the lofting technique you have to first draw your shape using the line tool. So once you have create the basic line of the shape you have to add the shape that you want the line to be filled with, so it can be a rectangle or a circle or any of the shapes. So once you have a shape on the viewpoint which isn't very big because it will only be making the outline, you can click on 'create' then 'compound' then 'loft'. This will bring a menu to the side of the screen under the shape tabs, then you have to select the circle and click the 'get shape' which will fill the line with the shape that was selected. This could be useful for making a bent handle or something curved which can be added to another object.
