          The skin is a pale shadow of the real old good loft though..

              Yes i know that there are a couple of scripts that do similar stuff but
              we do need proper loft functionality. It is a fundamental 3D modeling concept
              that is present in all the big packages, 3dmax, C4d, Maya, FormZ etc. Sketchup needs it a LOFT tool ❗
              It would enhance Sketchup modeling capabilities greatly. πŸ˜„

                but as far as I know lofts are only possible with nurbs. that means that if you want a loft that still can be manipulated via it's curves, you need the calculation process for a nurbs form and its transformation into a polygon shape in real time... 😲

                I think for a fluent loft tool we needed something like SketchUp Nurbs, which would be great, but I am afraid is rather unlikely...

                      well, EEbyRails restricts you to 4 curves (two profile curves, and two path curves) whereas with a loft tool you are allowed to use as many curves as you like (order in which curves are selected will determine the order they are used).
                      maybe you could create a loft tool based on your EEbyRails tool...
                      I know there is a basic loft tool out there somewhere (I think Chris Fullmer). but last thing I know its still in early beta.
                      you got quite a stable tool which produces beautifully smooth forms. so maybe you could derive a mighty loft tool from it... πŸ˜‰

                        I am working on such multi-profile loft tool. Still a lot of work, but you can get an idea at http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=1306&start=210#p216592
