0:56 How did you make the loft on the other side have a different direction? I made them symmetrical on the left and right, and there will be interspersed when they are put together.
@@Pixelfondue I can do this with 3point rectange but not with corner one. Snapped with top vertex and the bottom but when the rectangle is pulled away it leaves the second point snapped with. But with 3pong rectange I can do it.
Great tutorials, man! I'm working through them right now and it helps a lot! Have a question: Is there a way to direct loft operation rotation? If you want to loft two edges at 90 degrees to each other, is there a way to tell the program should it loft clock-wise or counter clock-wise? Apart from rotating the second part 180 degrees.
0:17 That's a three-point rectangle you made, holding mouse over the button? It's definitely a better way of making it here since the points snap on the circle tangents, making it flush on opposite site.
Another thing i noticed: if the sheets won't join, delete the loft, spin one sheet 180° (R+Z+1+8+0+Enter), then loft the edges again. Also, my sheets won't join, so i copied the thickness value from one sheet and pasted it in another.
@@Pixelfondue it was random, the thickening of sheets happened in different directions. Can't replicate it, repeated all the steps and worked fine. Guess i missed a step.

rotate the duplicated sheets.
Also, do you know why object snapping does not work? I can't seem to snap anything to edges/faces when I grab or any other operation.
what happens when you hold control?
@@Pixelfondue ah, ok, I've found my mistake. thanks :D
How do you make an exact rectangle of circle size? What is the short key for snapping?
It will Auto snap with object sampling enabled.. Then you can use the shift key to create temp element guides to snap to.

Tbh Im not sure but I'll look into it and report back if I find a way

there is a three point rectangle tool

can you show example of sheets not joining?
