The paths are classified and sorted out by the program automatically, but the user can change the order by simply shifting the paths inside the list and deciding to invert the paths. It is also possible to choose whether to insert a striped surface in place of a loft (by pressing the button with downward arrow); with the command Interpolate the selected paths are made curvilinear and with the command Closed a closed surface is generated, that is, it reconnects to the first section in the list.

By clicking on the Invert box belonging to the relevant path, the path is inverted.

Using the three X,Y and Z dimensions and also the construction planes is essential.

For the synchronous operations refer to paragraph Sweep 2 Rail.

In the images below three sections are drawn and then combined as a loft surface:

This is the result of the surface obtained from the three sections:
