Issue closing a lofted shape

[TPF]

First off, I am very new. It is likely that my whole issue is from a misunderstanding of basic principles, so please advice me of my errors in design.

My script runs as intended with the exception of the baked geometry is in two parts. The join solids fails due to the open geometry of the lofted part. I can join in Rhino, But this is a step that I should be able to accomplish with my script.

I have tried numerous routes to place the “heel” brep onto the top of the lofted, and capped shape, to make a solid.

There are two paths, but the lower segment for the right foot has been modified to have constants allowing visualization with out the user inputs.

Thank you in advance, for any assistance with my newbie issue.

Your file has a couple of problems.

• The Cap Holes component will not close non-planar holes so it’s output is an open brep.
• The input to the Solid Union component needs to be flattened (even though you aren’t inputting DataTrees, they have different paths).

This solves the 2 problems noted above.

Thank you, I was doing all sorts of weird things when all i was missing were the two faces joining with the loft.

So many things to learn, thanks again!

The Heel Post is now nice, but in my system I do not get the finished orthotic, just a blank for the right foot.

I will play around though, as I now have the breps closed so I should be able to fix.
