Hi,
I was following WT's tutorial on modeling a car by lofting, but after I finished constructing all my curves, the lofting part is giving me weird results. From the image I attached, 1 is where the trouble is, the surface is weird and not smooth, but 2 is fine. I mirrored the curves so why two sides have different results? The curves I have are the bottom images. I can upload my rhino file if you need to take a look.

if u use orthographic views when lofting or sweeping, you get good results. Sometimes curves's diirections causes errors like this. use dir command and make directions of curves be same.

Got you file and works ok BUT.. you have to selct each curve near the same end, beacause if you selct one from the front of the car then one from the back Rhino goes there and comes back..
So select each one for exemple from the front of the car as close as possible to the end of the curve and Rhino wil just do it fine..
