Looks great, Andrei. It will be fun to view your updates!

I have a question: other than experience, is there a method/procedure to choosing your profile curves to loft? How much modifications do you make to your basic shapes? This seems to be almost a "point cloud" type operation at this stage, yes?

Thanx Ron,

I use this script to set one style to all curves that I use to loft one object, it sets unique style without any menus.

script: /* Asign style*/ moi.ui.propertiesPanel.editStyleIndex( moi.geometryDatabase.addStyle().index );

I use this script to select all curves with the same style and loft:

script: /* Expand selection over same styles and loft */ var objects = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getCurves(), points = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().getPoints(), styles = new Array(); for (var i = 0; i < points.length; i++) { objects.addObject(points.item(i))} for ( var i = 0; i < objects.length; ++i ) { var obj = objects.item(i); if ( obj.selected ) styles[obj.styleIndex] = true; } for ( var i = 0; i < objects.length; ++i ) { var obj = objects.item(i); if ( styles[obj.styleIndex] ) obj.selected = true; }; moi.command.execCommand( 'loft' );

Also I have custom show/hide system that was made from diffrent scripts and based on objects styles. That system allows me to work very fast with this method.
But it is subject of my next tutorial, it is will be a lot of text to describe it here.

There is no any "point cloud" as you can see :)
