# How to loft between profiles

## Question:

How do you loft between profiles?

Why doesn't my loft have a smooth transition? It isn't lofting as I expected it to.

<Note>

The older Loft between Profile blocks did not produce smooth results because it used the **Section Body** block as the input.

We have since updated the **Regular Polygon** block to output Profile instead of Polygon type, which enables you to use Profile properties directly.

## Answer:

We recommend you use the **Mix** block to loft between two profiles and intersect it with two planes in which the Profiles are located.

A Profile is a set of coplanar curves. It has two field properties: the first is the Signed Distance field to the infinite extrusion relative to the profile's plane and the second is the unsigned distance field to the enclosed region.
