How to add curves to a loft

Hi guys


I built a model and nowwanna modify one loft inside the part. However I could not find a way to add extra curves to the loft. Is any way I can do that?


You help will be appreciated.
 
you sorta have to start over and add new sketchs, curves, etc. then reloft.


if you like the shape and all is good could defline planes and create intersection curves as well. note, these are secondary though.





good luck..

The extra curves need to be in the model tree before the loft feature. Edit the loft, and include the new curves.

Sometimes SW can be a pain when it comes to re-ordering the feature creation. In Pro-E, you only need to drag the feature which needs to be re-ordered in front of the feature that should come later. It does not always seem to work in SolidWorks.

Have you tried the boundary surface feature? It allows more control of the surface than loft.
