Using Loft to Make a Soap Dispenser (IED Onshape Tutorial)

This video tutorial guides users through creating a soap dispenser model in Onshape using the Loft tool. It covers opening a tutorial, creating a new document, sketching the base shape with rectangles and arcs, applying constraints and fillets, adding dimensions, creating reference planes, and using the Loft tool to finalize the model. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of following naming conventions, ensuring sketches are fully constrained, and using the correct dimensions for accuracy.

What is the primary purpose of using the Loft tool in Onshape?

• To measure dimensions of a model
