You can select all the contours to make the loft:
You will see that there is a problem with the default method.. try to change it with the toolbar for different results:
Or you can make it in two parts (for this model I wanted this result):

The idea was a result like this for that model:
Is better to make the loft in parts and not all togheter in a lot of cases.
For example, I´m making a shape where two contours share edges.
it is better to make a loft between 1-2-3, then explode and after that make the loft 4-5 for better results:
I attach the skp to show that if you make a loft of 1-2-3-4-5 the results are not good in this case.

FredoPS: for the other shape, there are still some issues when curves are partially overlapping. But it is a good example I can work from.

I've yet to try out this plugin for myself - but is there a linear option as well? Or is it just beziers? It seems to be that the pencil would require a linear morphing to get the shape of the tip.

The Linear option will be available in the next release (along with other spline methods). I came to that conclusion too.

Just came across this wonderful and amazing new tool.
I'm pretty much speechless: incredible
This opens up soooo many possibilities. Thank you for this great tool
-
I haven't even had time to use it and I am already in love with this plugin.
Thanks Fredo -

Hi,
I tried with Curviloft the to make the ornaments in this historic door . But it does not look good. I have to try other shapes. In the rendered image it looks like a Crab.

FredoYou cannot stop amaze! This already is a true gem. Wonder to what it will grow...
-
I just see:
And made me wonder... would be possible something like this?
Daniel S -
I have further experimented with Curivloft. But for those stone sculptures, it seems to be less suitable. The current forms I have generated by the standard tools, the Freehand tool, Push Pull and Subdivide and Smooth.

Notice that the numbers for each profile alternates throughout your pre-selecting.
-
I would think Fredo's tool superior to my EEbyLoft... BUT mine works with some componentizing and exploding etc !
Fredo, please borrow whatever ideas work in my tool for yours !

Charly, try like this:
-Select, lets say, four profiles. Explode them and press the loft button;
-Do the same with other four and so on;
-Select the two profiles on the ends of two stumps and press loft. Do that for all the stumps;
-Delete the unwanted original profiles.
That's all.

Hi,
In this design I get some errors. The idea was to create a road profile. I have selected the faces one by one. Maybe Fredo can find the error. Even in a straight line this error will appear.

In Fredo6's discussion in the first post, I saw something that suggested to leave open a tiny segment in the profile to be lofted. Perhaps to prevent the twisting?
