# LOFT Command
[GstarCAD 2027](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Index.md) → [Commands](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/(Commands).md) → [L](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2027/Commands/L/(L).md)
## Function Description:
This command is used to create 3D solids or surfaces by several cross sections.
User can apply the LOFT command on the following objects or sub objects:
1.The following objects can be selected as cross sections:2D polyline, spline, arc, elliptical arc, and line.
2.The following objects can be selected as path:3D polyline, spline and line.
3.The following objects can be selected as guides: Spline and line. Users can set the DELOBJ system variable to delete cross sections, guides and path automatically.

## Command Prompts:
```
Select cross sections in lofting order or [MOde]:
```
Those cross sections determine the shape of 3D solids or surfaces and there must be at least two cross sections.
Lofting profile can be open or closed, planar or non-planar, and can also be edge of sub objects.
 
## **Select cross sections in lofting order**
Specifies open or closed cross sections in lofting order.
- **Guides:**
Specify loft guides to control solid or surface shape. Users can specify control points to match corresponding cross sections.
**Note:**The guide surface must intersect with each cross section. The guide surface starts from the first cross section. The guide surface ends at the last cross section. Users can select a few guides for lofting surfaces or solids and press ENTER to finish.
 
- **Path:**
Specify loft path for solid or surface. The path must intersect with planes of cross sections.
 
- **Cross sections only:**
Create loft by cross sections without guides or path.
- **Settings:**
The Loft Settings dialog box is displayed as shown below.
## Mode
Controls whether the lofted object is a solid or a surface.
