Good morning i am having some issues using using loft. i am modeling cones of vision for fire detectors and there pretty funky. it isnt just a straight forward cone anyways. when i loft my line get squiggly and when i render or get realistic view you can see the bumpyness. I have tried to put more cross sections in to smooth out but it isnt working. how would i apply a smooth mesh over it and is it possible. thanks for your help.

 

I will post a .jpg of what i mean.

more cross sections = more problems. Use the minimum amount you can to achieve the shape. how are you setting up the cross sections? is it possible you could make a solid block and slice it with surfaces if the loft doesnt work?

 

Im not sure the shape you are talking about.
