I can't find this in C4D
(from url tutorial http://www.maxoncomputer.com/tutorial_detail.asp?tutorialID=63&site= )

To loft splines together they must be in a group. Group together the three Circle Splines and go to Objects=>Spline Object=>Loft Object with the entire group selected, then click OK

As I go to OBJECTS I see SPLINE OBJECT but then I don't get LOFT OBJECT. It just adds a spline object to the scene :(

why?

That's probably because the tutorial was written for an older version of C4d (version 5 I think). What version are you using? In versions 7 and 8, I would use a LOFT NURBS object, and then place the splines as a child of the LOFT NURBS (be careful of the order of the splines below the nurb, as it effect the lofting).

Hmm thanks for your input!
I tried that already, but the lines wouldn't connect to get solid (see tut)

edit[ah they do!, but in wrong shapes. but that can be my fault too! Thanks!]

You may also have to change the direction of some of the splines. You can tell which way they run by entering points mode and noting the direction that yellow morphs into orange. This should be the same for all splines.
