Solid loft in Dynamo

Hi, I’m trying to loft a solid with 2 cross sections profiles along TWO DIFFERENT types of guide curves, a smooth curve and a right angle curve.

Is that possible in Dynamo? The Solid,by loft gives me an error.

Is there another method to do this?

Thanks

I think you would have to sweep each individually and then union them.

Better still, sweep the PolyCurve and then fillet the edge of the solid.

Both option requires me to loft with the right angled polycurve, but it’s not allowing me to do so.

Do you have a sketch of the desired final form? Is this juts a prismatic shape with a curve cut out in the bottom? Or do you expect a blend between the rectilinear geometry and the curve?

@harry_zhao unfortunately the loft operation in Dynamo doesn’t support non-G1 continuous guide curves, i.e., curves with sharp corners/bends in them.
You could try constructing the model by building separate surface lofts and stitching them into a solid. The non-G1 guide could be treated as a cross-section (which is allowed to be non-G1) with the adjacent pieces of the section treated as guides (see picture). Alternatively, if a middle section is added coincident with the non-G1 point in the guide, then the model could be built with two separate solid loft operations. Note that the sections need to be closed curves (not clear in the picture).
