lofting cross section issues

Hi Team,

I have been trying to use loft to create a solid. Im using 10 closed polyline cross section to loft and when I initially do it the loft works and the solid comes out exactly how I had hoped. my issue comes from when I save, exit and then go back into the file the solid has gone whacky. I have attached a picture of it. In the picture I show the cross sections I am trying to use, the lofted solid before exiting the drawing and then the lofted solid after I have save and re entered the drawing. any suggestions? thanks.

  • When you run the _REDSKINFO command, does the render engine report a good validation and status check of your video system?

  • Hi Richard not sure whats a good outcome would you mind having a look below?

  • Could you post the original DWG with the "rings" and the lofted body? Could help narrow down the cause.

    I would speculate that what you're seeing is an artifact of your graphic card. GeForce cards are great for day to day use and super for gaming; I have one in my gaming rig now. But the GTX cards are optimized for speed and sometimes fall over in CAD applications. There's a discussion thread over here with some comparison pics of GeForce versus Quadro cards.
