Lofting Ribs with just two profiles: Curves Workbench Mult-iloft Method

In my 'Lofting Ribs with just two profiles: Part Loft Method' I went into detail how to create multiple profiles from two profiles and a single loft. The trouble is that if we want to lighten the profile we had to do this by creating separate sketches and lofts which were cut away from the loft. We are going to explore a shortcut which allows us to do this all in one go; the curves workbench multi loft tool.

Let's take two profiles. Note compared to the previous tutorial all the lighting of the profile has been done in one sketch.

We need to create a face from the sketch. Jump over to the part workbench and select one of the sketches and click top menu > part > make face from wires.

You will see a face added to the treeview. Repeat for the other sketch.

Jump over to the Curves workbench and ctrl select both faces.

Click on the top menu > surfaces > multiloft. Our loft is complete and ready for cutting as in my 'Lofting Ribs with just two profiles: Part Loft Method'.
