Oval sweep
Oval sweep
(OP)
Has anyone come up with an easy way to create an oval shaped helical sweep? It would be like a formed aluminum tubing. I've used a 3D sketch before but is is labor intensive.

I'm fairly certain SW2008 has better tools for this job.

You may also get some good ideas from the curve driven patterns on Mike J. Wilsons site.

RE: Oval sweep
How did you created 3D curve for the last sweep?
I did not get it.
Thank you.
