Hi Joao, I don't know if this is the solution you are after, but give it a try.

Thanks Pieter,

Its not exactly that because in the end the lines are straight they dont follow the curvature of the surface.

Is there a reason, why you use the uv and not the points from the loft-devide?

Nice Dedackelzucht!
btw, I found that if you get rid of the 'loft options' component you avoid the duplicate interpolated curves.

:-) thanks for the comment...there was something missing:-)

As I recall you told us yesterday you liked clean, wouldn't it be cleaner to prevent any unnecessary duplicate data? Wouldn't it be even cleaner if you lose the 'loft options' component, rather than to remove duplicates at the end of the definition? It reduces the amount of processed data by 75%... ;-)

You got me :-)

That was not what I was after Dedackelzucht, I'm just trying to learn a lot. So it was great to see your approach, thanks :)

Now something else happen!!

For example if I use a set of curves more complex and with angles when I loft them it doesnt assume like one surface cos if its more complex the loft split it in different surface. Any idea how to solve it?

You could try bringing the 'Loft options' back in :) and use the Rebuild Count. Is this what you meant?
Edit: show us the curves you use, I got it working with mine, that I rebuilt with 10 points, but they might not be comparable...
