EAlexander Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) 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.

Kevin McAllister Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I also think Sweep is the best solution here. You could create a Helix Spiral and then an Extrude Along Path, but it doesn't have the ease of adjustment of the Sweep.... Kevin Quote Link to comment
