Possible Bug: Loft

Problem Loft 3.3dm (3.5 MB)

Here is something that I created that has odd behavior. I wanted to create a closed polysrf from these shapes. My normal procedure would be to do a Loft with straight sections then cap.

If I do that with these shapes, it will not cap.

If loft then use planarsrf the edges then join, I get a bad polysrf. I can extract the bad surface then cap and all is well.

I can also do two lofts, join, then cap, mergesrf and that works.

There are no objects in your attached file.

They are on an off layer… But they loft and cap just fine here.

That’s funny, they consistently do not cap on my machine. However, I note that in the file where I was actually using these, I created the same same curves at different rotations and all the others do cap.
