propstuff Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 Dave I think you need Mechanical to get the 3D springs, but there are 2 ways to make them (at least). 1: Lofting Make the section profile as a NURBS curve, duplicate a circular array of the required dia and then displace them individually along to make the length. Then Loft. 2: Sweep Make the section profile and use the Sweep tool with the required displacement value in the Pitch setting. HTH N. Quote Link to comment
