I created this in DYNAMO to see if i could do it. Well it turned out that i can.
I noticed a strange thing happening though when i tried loft solids along the the top and bottom of the trusses. When i used the Solid by Loft (using curves and guidelines) node, it wouldn’t follow the guideline:
When i used the Polysurface Loft command, it worked fine.
BTW, this is a crap workaround, but if you really need a solid while we sort this out, you can patch the ends of your Polysurface.Loft with the 2 profiles, then create a solid from the enclosed surfaces:
Hi, this thread is a year old, but i´m having the exat same problem, solid byloft is ignoring the curve. If I try the polysurface byloft i get “CENTERLINE_SECTION_DOESNT_CUT_PATH – Section does not define a point on the centerline path.” Any ideas?
hard to tell, but, I don’t think your inputs are correct, - I think a list of lines as the guide curve will produce multiple lofts, try creating a curve from the line points, or a polycurve and using that as the guide curve.
polycurve by points and nurbs by point both give different errors. I get “CENTERLINE_NOT_G1_CONTINUOUS” when using polycurve and “BAD_UV_SKIN_DIR – Surface U and V derivatives are in the same or opposite direction.” when using nurbs
If i change the lacing to longest or cross product the error disappears, but the loft is still in a straight line
