Lofting two airfoils together

  Hi everyone,
  I am going to Loft two asymmetric airfoils to each other in Design Modeler. I imported them, but the skin Tool cannot Loft them to each other and gives an error. What should I do to solve this problem?
  Any help would be appreciated.
  Regards.

  First create simple 2 curves in DM and try to use Skin tool and check how it works. That will give you idea about it. If you have imported curves and from image it looks like the cuve is in the loop. Split that curve into 2 or 3 curves and then use Skin tool. You can also try SpaceClaim.

    I tried two symmetrical airfoils and managed to Loft them together. But I did not succeed for this asymmetric airfoil model. what should I do ?

  split the curve into multiple curves and create multiple skin objects.

    I have another problem and that is that the curve of the airfoil seems broken in some areas and not smooth. I got the coordinates of the airfoil points from the Airfoiltools site, which has very few points. Is there a solution to this problem?

  You can add that point. Please check the format for points import in DM. You will find it on this forum or in the help manual.

    Yes, I did exactly the same thing and converted the airfoil points into a readable text file in Design Modeler. After importing to Design Modeler and drawing it, the airfoil curve looks broken in some areas and is not smooth. I think the number of points is low.
    Is there a way to fix this problem so that I have more points of this airfoil ?
