i test it istonia. in other software maya or xsi loft should be able to work more than two spline

+1 for having the spline loft tool work on more that 2 splines would be great.

Nvils loft tool is also patch tool (4 sided).

Really nice work Istonia on being able to edit the splines of the loft before committing it. It works really well on my initial tests for both 2 spline lofts and 4 spline lofts.

The loft tool is improved so it can work on multiple splines. for detail, please read the doc in the help file.

Awesome !

It works really well, being able to edit the verts of the splines and watch the mesh update is fantastic too.

One thing that is a problem is that when I hit the 'E' button next to apply the loft dialog disappears and then I have to bring it up again later to apply the mesh.

I also get exception error when trying to create a new loft from a spline that was part of previous loft.

The previous loft had been applied.

Don't select any splines
Run loft command (Geometry>Create>Loft)
Hold P key and select splines in order
Use segments A & B to adjust mesh density

Istonia has updated the help file with this information.

Please check if it is fixed.

Working like a charm now, thanks !

I'll be using the loft spline tool a lot in my work, so appreciate you doing the work on it.
