Intermittant Helix Cut
Intermittant Helix Cut
(OP)
Hi all - its me again with another Helix question. In this instance I have drawn a variable pitch Helix (it transitions from a start pitch to an end pitch along its length). I want to sweep along this line but I'd like to have gaps in the sweep (i.e. I'd like it to sweep for 10mm, stop for 5mm and restart for another 10mm etc.) The amount of gaps could be 40 or 50 so having 40 or 50 different helix drawings is not a good solution. I also considered drawing one helix and then extruding the first 'gap' and using a pattern along a curve to continue the 40/50 gaps. However, it won't allow me to use my helix curve as the pattern curve. Anyone have any ideas?
