Create a lofted plates or a lofted slabs by using Construction Polycurves

Easy creation of curved shapes: improvements in lofted plates and lofted slabs on the construction polycurve toolbar.

To create a lofted plate, click Steel > Plate > Create lofted plate.
To create a lofted slab, click Concrete > Slab > Create lofted slab.

Use two Construction Polycurves to create Lofted Part:

Select the first construction polycurve.

Unfold lofted plates

You can now unfold lofted plates in single-part drawings.

The unfolding works for lofted plates which have been created from single geometry to single geometry, and for tangential polycurve lofted plates.
