Hi David, Thanks for the help. Straight Sections or Aligning Section curves doesn't seem to work. It still returns an open Brep. However, rebuilding the loft does work. So, I can use that for now. But, it didn't seem to do this in the last version (0.5). This same setup returned a untrimmed surface in version (0.5). I know the Loft component was kind of re-built in version 0.6, but it would be great if we could choose the output type. Or a MergeSrf would work as well. Thanks again. -Andy
