1//! Demo of `Solid::loft`: skin a smooth solid through cross-section wires.
2//!
3//! - **Frustum**: two circles of different radii → truncated cone (minimal loft)
4//! - **Morph**: square polygon → circle (cross-section shape transition)
5//! - **Tilted**: three non-parallel circular sections → twisted loft
