winded rope
winded rope
(OP)
Today I've looked looked how to model a rolled up rope.
The helix has no option to use a path / along spline.
Can anybody give me an idea how to solve this?
thx in ad

RE: winded rope
Attached is a sample file I got from CADpo a while back. I can't find the section on their site any longer. I think they have taken the old 'tips' section down and are headed a slightly different direction.

What you have the are handed helices that have straight line axes. I think that Cowski and I both thought that you meant something like braided coiled rope. That is a fair bit more difficult and requires a law curve because the case of a helix where the axis is not a straight line isn't supported as standard. as Cowski hinted you would have to use a law curve.
Instead of sweeping a circular profile you would probably find it much easier to use the tube feature.
