Hi all,
In the attached file I was attempting to loft (Loft 7) the filleted rectangle (Port Window) to the circular sketch (Carb Opening) along the 3D Spline (Runner Centerline). It fails and I get the error "SKIN_PATH_PROFILE_NO_PERP: Profile plane and tangent of the path are not perpendicular". The tutorial doesn't explicitly say so, but I note I have no option to select tangent or angle in the lofting command with the spline selected as the centerline guide. As the error suggests, must the spline be perpendicular at the intersections with the lofting profiles? I had a heck of a time with shape of that spline and was hoping to be able to manipulate it achieve the desired transition. If so, I don't understand how to constrain the guide spline perpendicular at the intersection of the sketches. -All help appreciated.
Best,
Kelly
