Alexander Hill Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 How do I make a helix spring, screw thread, etc. In the doorstopper tutorial it says to use Model>create helix-spiral. I don't seem to have this option in my Model menu. I am using VW 10.5.1, the most current version I think. Hope someone can help. Quote Link to comment
0 Kaare Baekgaard Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 If you do not have this option in the Model Menu, it may be because you need to include it in the workspace using the workspace editor. You can also use the sweep comand to create helix spirals, swrew thread etc.: Draw the shape of the section, place a locus to define the center of rotation, select the 'Model>sweep' comand and enter for example '7200?' as 'Arc Angle' and enter a value into 'Pitch', that corresponds with the added height of a single revolution of the helix spiral.
