Hi Andy, it's a Brep because Loft will sometimes create a Brep, depending on input curves and settings. If you enable Straight-Sections for example or if the seams of closed input curves do not match up.
I suppose I'll have to add some sort of MergeSrf component to remedy this. What if you rebuild/refit your loft, do you get single surfaces then? -- David Rutten [email protected] Robert McNeel & Associates On Mar 25, 4:49 am, Rchitekt <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey David, > Is there a reason that the output from a Loft component is a Brep? > Basically, I have some section curves that I'm lofting together, and > then I'd like to subdivide that surface by some interval.
