In the feature's PropertyManager, we will be able to find all of the feature's options. The following screenshot highlights the PropertyManager for the lofted boss feature:

The following is a brief explanation of these options:

• Start/End Constraints: This gives us more control over the areas that are close to the profile sketches. Under each, we have the following options:
  • Direction vector: This pushes the loft toward a specific direction, as per an existing vector. To apply this, we may need to create additional lines to push the loft.
  • Normal to profile: This pushes the loft in a direction that's normal/perpendicular to the existing profile we used to build the loft.
• Guide Curves: This gives much more flexibility in terms of how the loft is constructed. However, we still need to create more curves from different sides to guide the loft. The following screenshot shows our previous loft with multiple guiding curves:

• Thin Feature: This changes the loft so that it's only lofting the shell rather than the whole shape.

This concludes the various options of the lofted boss feature. In this section, we covered the following topics:

• How to create different profiles with the lofted boss feature

• The different options for the lofted boss feature

Now that we know how to apply the lofted boss feature, we can start learning how to apply the lofted cut feature.
