creating a shape like twisted soft serve twirl
(OP)
I'm trying to create a shape that looks like a Mr. Softee twirl sitting on top of a half sphere. I've tried sweeping a cirlcular shape around a helix and having that sit on top of the half sphere...however when I go to core it out, the whole part kind of blows up (I guess due to the sweep not really having a solid form within the "twirl")....
Can anyone direct me as to how to creat this configuration... I will need to core the finished shape to .080 wall.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

You may need to do this piecemeal with surfaces and stich it together afterward --OR-- have your section sketch be two concentric circles.

Good Luck.

Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches.
