I was wondering what's the benefit, as you see it, for creating only 2 curves to loft, and then using "InsertKnot"? I'm still working on this, but it suddenly occurred to me to try it with 5 curves, each one a little smaller than the other, and then lofting them. I'm having alot more success that way...much easier for me. But, I'm thinking you're seeing some advantage to doing it that way that I'm not, and was curious what it might be?
