Hello,
I wanted to know if i can make an object which is curved and has both the ends of different sizes that is i will have to use a sweep first to make that object at an angle but then how will i get both the ends or sides of that object of 2 different sizes that is one side big and one side small.
I have attached the sweep image formur reference
Regards,
Aliya

that's a perfect example of where it would be great to have a two source sweep/loft as has been discussed here. As of right now, I'm not sure how you would do that, any of the Revit masters have an idea?

What exactly do you mean by "loft"?

as mentioned in http://forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=7751 for one, also in MAX/VIZ or FormZ or most other general modellers. Basically, it is the same as a sweep except it allows you to have a 3d path and usually a different starting shape than ending shape (i.e. blend between a square and a circle while sweeping along a spline).
