I'm trying to figure some things out. I don't have a specific need for what I'm trying to do, but I'm trying to learn how to use some things in FreeCAD. I've seen some forum posts and looked in the directions and they all seem to suggest that it's possible to make an additive loft in part design from a sketch to a vertex. I've tried to go from a sketch to a datum point, a point in a sketch or a point from a draft and none of them are able to be used to create an additive loft. I can get it to work by having a sketch with some profile for the base and then a second sketch with a circle that has a very small radius, but if it's a point of any kind, it isn't working. This is what it says in the additive loft documentation:
How can I create a "vertex" that can serve as the beginning or end of an additive or subtractive loft?Vertices can only be either the start or end of a loft. Otherwise the loft body would consist of two solids connected at a single point. This would violates the CAD kernel's definition of a 3D object.
Thanks!
