AutoCAD Inventor :: Loft With Multiple Openings?
Jan 24, 2013I was wondering if it is possible to make a surface loft go from 1 square section to 2 round sections.
So 1 ingoing section en 2 outgoing sections.
I've attached a simple drawing.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Surface Loft With Multiple Sketches And Rails
Mar 19, 2012Attached is an Inventor 2012 part file. I am trying to perform a surface loft with multiple sketches and rails. Each time I try to perform this operation I get the following error:
Error: The attempted loft operation had problems with the specified rail curve not intersecting one or more sections. Try repairing the rail curve so that it intersects all the sections.
I have corrected this issue as much as I know how by project the rails onto each sketchs workplane and then using the projected points to constrain the sketch. It is not working.
It is very difficult to explain, but I have attached the part file. It was created from Autodesk Inventor 2012.

Nov 6, 2011I have a cylinder on top of a curved surface; I want to make the cylinder land adaptively to the surface, so I projected the circular face of the cylinder in the surface, which ended up being a 3D sketch. I tried to loft a solid between both curves, but it always gives me errors. Some examples are:The attempted operation did not produce a meaningful result. Try with different inputs.Multiple disjoint loops found in a profile section.
I have had success when trying to do the same thing with curved surfaces in two dimensions only (e.g. extruding a 2D curve), but I think the error is produced since the curved face I am trying to use belongs to an elipsiod.
AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Copy / Paste A Loft
Jul 24, 2012Okay I've been building random things to teach myself how to use Inventor and right now I'm stuck on a rim I'm creating. My question is.. is there a way to copy and paste a lofted item since there are three parts to it (2 planes and 1 guide) because I need 4 more spokes and if I copy the loft it copies all three parts seperately. Then when I paste and orientate the small end of the loft to the plane I want it tells me "Unsatisfied Geometric Inputs".

AutoCAD Inventor :: Put Loft Sketch On Drawing?
Nov 22, 2013I have created a loft from 4 different sketches. Now I want to make a drawing with the front, side view and the dimensions of the 4 profile sketches from the loft. But I can’t find a way to put the sketches from the part on my paper. It works with copy-paste ;^) but this is not the way I want it (it’ll not change when I change the profiles in the part).

Oct 8, 2012I am following the U-Tube exercise called "Emergency Light (Cabinet) volume 1". I am at time stamp 1 hour 26 minutes, exactly.
In the video they use a Loft command in order to cut a shape out of two sketches numbered 10 & 11. I have been copying exactly and am having difficulty at this stage of the model.
Is there any reason why I am managing to use the Loft command earlier perfectly but not at this point.

Dec 7, 2012I'm trying to produce this loft but the rail I really need it to follow won't produce any results. The other ones on the 3d sketch will work just fine but not the regular sketched one. It seemed to work when I made the rail a straight line but I need it to follow the edge of the surface which is a line, tangent to small r3 arc, tangent to line and connected through projective geometry from the original surface sketch.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Create A Loft With Intersecting Planes (vb)?
Apr 27, 2012I want to create a solid using VB and loft definition.
I creat each time different planes that have a constant distance in x dimension and a steady rotation each time φ (deg).
On each each plane i sketch the same profile and that is happened for 360 deg.
The problem is that Loft is not made because a line of the profile must follow a line tragectory and all other points must follow a circular tragectory. Also, there is a problem from 180 deg to 360 because there is intersection of profiles.
The result must be a solid similar to snail shell but all the same solid, as a cylindar whith a half sphere in the bottom.
AutoCAD Inventor :: 2011 Loft And Boundary Fail
Nov 13, 2011In the attached sample file if you edit the sketch in the first surface feature and change the dimension of 600 to 700, both the patch and loft features fail. It seems to be the curved edge that is the problem in both cases.
I cant see anything wrong with either way of modelling this so assume its a bug.This causes other problems in my real model with parts that reference these types of surfaces falling apart further down stream and is wasting heaps of $$$.

View 5 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Odd Loft Feature Glitch On Parameter Adjustment
Jul 30, 2013The rotor is composed of cylinder and a solid lofted between two 3D profiles. The attached part file is correct. To reproduce the error- change the "inlet_width" parameter from 12mm to 10mm or less (it is a parameter in "Blade Profile" sketch). On updating the part there will be infinitesimally thin solid layer on outer diameter of the cylinder.
-3D Sketch profile is a projection not from the "Blade Profile" sketch, but from a plane offset from it. This was first attempt at a fix. I suspected the original tangent work plane to intersect the cylinder.
-Creating a new solid body from loft was the only way to avoid errors such as "non-manifold solid".
I will be creating multiple versions of this part and I need to be able to safely adjust the "inlet_width" and "outlet_width" parameters. I will be grateful of any proposed fixes/workarounds to that glitched behaviour.
EDIT: The version is Inventor 2014 Educational.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: Loft And Thicken Results In Broken Surface
Jul 19, 2013I am having problems creating a profile around a path. The profile (image-1) resulted in an undesirable corner (image-2). Which I don't know if that can be fixed. My workaround was to create a lower profile, and then loft between the 2 rails.
The loft results in a twisted surface (image-3). So to correct this under loft> transition I turn off automatic mapping and edit the point set. I always end up with one extra set of points, or edge, and end up having one set of points on top of another, a duplicate edge. Which I believe is where my problem lies. However I can not delete this extra point set, so there is not much I can do there. Am I missing something? This results in a surface loft (image-4). When I thicken this surface by 6mm it results in this broken solid (image-5)
I have tried merging tangent surfaces in the loft command, which appears to work better, but when using thicken the error message reads that the thicken operation did not produce a meaningful result. When I change the thicken direction I get a solid, just not the one that I need.
I had many other strange errors, and seemed to have solved some of them by taking the fillets out the sketch, and applying them to the solid. But this should be an easy operation, and I can't seem to make this work at all.
I am using Inventor 2014 and the ipt file is attached.
