Hi all, does anyone know a way to get around the problem of lofting a profile on a closed path (like a rectangle) and having it always come out inverted, I can and do make it work with two halfs and a couple of slices, but it would be faster to just loft around the closed path...ie for use as a base on a boxed column....thx in advance

When selecting your loft profile ("pick shape"), hold down the "ctrl" key to flip it's position. Closed path or not, this should work for ya.

 

Have you read up on version 7.5's new Sweep modifier? It's meant for doing this kind of stuff the way it should be - quicker and easier.
