How can I do this?
(OP)
I have this drawing of a part I need to make a model of. I have the revolved part completed which is the bore and OD taper. I am not sure how to make the swept features on the outside that follow the tapered at a helix and taper down as they go around. I someone could please help I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,

Then sweep a section along that datum curve.

Then put a draft on it...
Then put the helix on...
Then put the rounds on.
It seems quite straight forward.

(If a "true" representation is required there are other nuances that should be considered. Similar to cutting a helical groove, simply sweeping a planar section probably won't bring home the trophy.)

Making it tapered can be as easy as adding a revolved cut at the end.
