Loft (I still call it swarp) sketch not valid?

[cosmickingpin]

Well I have a loft path picked to a void object that contains a spline, and I can not finish the loft, I keep getting an error that says "loft path not valid." Now both of the profiles takes a spline just fine, but why not the path? Anybody know something I don't? I have a very complex shape here, I could construct it out of arc (which is probably what I will end up doing later), but it would be nice to get a spline to work, otherwise I will have to model it in max or sketchup.

Can you post a screenshot of the error? I never knew there was such an error message with the word "loft" in it. By the way, using arcs will give you unwanted vertices. You better use the spline tool and you will get a much smoother surface.

It's hard to comment without a picture, as Andrew pointed out, but usually the problems with lofts not completing is because the position of the profile relative to the path would cause the loft to cross back over itself... which it's not allowed to do. The final surface cannot cross itself.

What are you talking about guys? Loft in Revit?

I guess they must be talking about a Sweep

I guess some didn't see where I was coming from here, most of you did- but I didn't mean to create confusion or waste anybody's time. I was referring to the little exchange we here in this post about revit's stagnated modeling features.

So since Autodesk won't give use the better modeling tools we need, I decided it is best to move on with our lives and and just create an imaginary revit feature called Loft- I wanted to call it Swarp, but Scott thought loft was more conventional- and since new features cause some issues, i decided to post an imaginary appeal for help related to using this new imaginary feature.
