multi taper helix
multi taper helix
(OP)
Similar to the addition of the variable pitch helix, has anyone ever done a variable or multiple tapered helix in one shot? Single tapers are easy but can I create a sweep, as in a thread, with a taper into a straight thread, and continue at some point later to taper out? Any plans for this feature?

(Also check out the third tutorial.)
Sweep your outer surface with a guide to establish your tapers (or do a centerline loft for the same). Then sweep a line through the center that rotates while being swept. Follow the tutorial for the rest of the details--piece of cake.
