helix shape


Recommended Posts

I would sweep a rectangle around a locus and offset the pitch of the sweep.

 

Distance from profile to locus should be the Radius of your overall curve.  The SEG field will let you adjust how many profiles are used to make the sweep - so you can adjust the "resolution" of the sweep.  I believe this number changes based on what your 3d settings are : low, medium, high, very high - but you can dial in any number you want.  Lower number= more profiles.

 

Trim to fit as needed.
