additive Loft from 2 Sketches

[euphi77]

I try to create a connection between to bodies (Sketch + Pad).

Therefore I copied the sketches and used the additive loft tool.

Both sketches are "hollow" (e.g. a circle in a circle) - this works fine with the pad tool.

However, with the additive loft tool, the faces of the inner circle transitions to the outer one of the other sketch and vice versa:

How can I create a loft that correctly transitions, so there is an inner and an outer face?


Or is there any other convenient way to connect two pads in part design?


Example of the final part:

This is a consequence of the internal ordering in the sketches. If you have started one sketch from the inside to the outside and the other vice versa, then you get this result.

Solution: Swap in one of the sketches the circles. Delete the constraints, make the smaller one biger, and the bigger one smaller and reapply the constraints.

Hi
For those who are looking for a challenge, here is a beautiful one, in relation to this post

Many thanks. Changing the order of the circle in the sketch solved the problem.

If you're interested, I uploaded the file to thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3645440 - all values can be customized used a spreadsheet.

Sorry, I was thinking about doing something similar and could not resist
