Helix around a spline
Helix around a spline
(OP)
Have a look at the flexible part. The angular value gives a wrong result when over 720°
So, I would like to create a guide curve around the circle
There is no option in helix function to create it around a spline instead of a linear direction.
Does anybody have an idea with a law function ?
Thanks in advance
Didier

RE: Helix around a spline
Here is a law curve defined shape you can control the rotation of the coil with the angle expression. Not one of my models but I found useful in trying to understand how law curves can be set up.
This works great with a round tube - not so great with a half tube :)
Maybe someone knows how to control the relative rotation of the half tube to run it consistant with the guide string so its not all wobbly...

Thats a good way to create the spiral with the projected curve. Thanks for sharing the model. I'm sure it will come in useful in the future.
