    Loft<\/h1>\nA loft<\/span> <\/em>is a blend or transition solid or surface that connects two or more cross sections. The cross sections, also called profiles<\/em><\/span>, can be the same or different shapes. See Figure 24-1. The cross sections can also be projected along a path.\n\nThe most common drawing objects that can be used for the cross sections are 2D and 3D splines, 2D polylines, 2D solids, arcs, circles, ellipses, elliptical arcs, and lines. For a complete list, see the AutoCAD Help files.\n\nThe path must be a single open or closed object. The most common objects that can be used for the path are 2D and 3D splines, 2D and 3D polylines, helices, arcs, circles, ellipses, elliptical arcs, and lines. See AutoCAD's Help.\n\n[caption id=\"attachment_1070\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"161\"]\"\" Figure 24-1
