Loft or Extrude?
A 3D Spline will extrude in the Z direction of the WorkPlane in which it was created. Demonstration: Create a 3D Spline by Control Points in the World WP and turn on “Show frame” in its Properties dialog. Switch to Front view & WP by View, and then trace the Spline with a new one, vertex-snapping to the vertices in the visible frame. Try extruding these two objects and note the directions in which they extrude. HOH Q: I want to extrude the shape shown in what seems to be the obvious direction — to create a bended plate. If I 3d join the four sides together to do the extrude, it always makes the orientation (when selected) at 90 degrees to what I want it.
