Alibre Design 2013

Why didn't you add support for lofts in the API? :cry:

I think it would be fantastic to be able to develop applications that can generate fan blades, propellers, wings, etc. from parameters...

Andy,

I suspect that API capabilities are driven by either internal needs at Alibre or by requests from external developers. I know that can be a bit 'chicken and egg' - I suggest you make as specific a request as you can about exactly what extra things you would need. The more specific you are, the easier it will be for Alibre to gauge how much work might be involved and then make a decision on if to proceed.

OK here goes. Dear 3DS, can you please add the following function to the API?

IADLoftFeature IADPartFeatures.AddLoftBoss(IObjectCollector CrossSections, IObjectCollector Tangents, IObjectCollector TangentMagnitudes, IObjectCollector TangentAngles, IObjectCollector GuideCurves, ADLoftGuideType GuideCurveType, bool MinimizeTwist, bool MinimizeCurvature, bool SimplifySurface, bool ConnectEnds, string Name)

Thanks! Andy
