Extruding a spiral
Extruding a spiral
(OP)
How do I create a boss feature by extruding a spiral? I can't seem to be able to create a closed sketch from a spiral.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Extruding a spiral
Are you trying to make a shape similar to a watchspring? If so, here's two possible approaches:
1.) Make a thin-wall extrusion (the box in the Extrude interface should be automatically checked if your sketch isn't closed)
2.) Use the spiral to make a sweep. To draw the sweep section, create a plane "Normal to curve" using the spiral endpoint and curve.

RE: Extruding a spiral
Thank you for the response. The model is done. I used the spiral as a guide to create a sweep
Thanks again..
