Re: loft surface area profile


ok - meters helps - thanks

for the part, I have a very simple test geometry:

56" x 168" rectangle which transitions to a 144" diameter circle over
a distance of 104". The center of the rectangle lies on the same axis
as the center of the circle.

thanks for all the help

Do you think you could upload your part or a simplified version of your
part so that I can see what is going wrong. The code works fine on my
computer. To others reading this, note that he added a
TotalSurfaceArea = 0 call which I had forgotten. He also added
part.Parameter("D1@Plane3").SystemValue = 0 to initialize the plane to
a start location.

My only other thought is that you are using a surface loft and this
tool only calculates solid body area.
