BGD Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I'm trying to draw certain types of spiral water features. 1. Any suggestions what is the best way to draw this 3D model? Should I use Sweep or Create Helix - Spiral? How can I get the look of the ridge for spiral water rill ? Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Here's a file showing how I would approach it. The two objects that will help you are the helix spiral and the sweep, both of which give you control over pitch. The helix spiral can be a bit unwieldy, especially when you add an Extrude Along Path, so I limited it to a flat spiral and created the pitched part with a sweep.

Kevin McAllister Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Here's the file containing both water features on separate layers as a VW 2019 version. Take a look at the file. It has the various pieces and steps I used from left to right. KM Spiral Water Feature v2019.vwx Quote Link to comment
