Sweep curve around helix shape
Sweep curve around helix shape
(OP)
I am trying to model a palnut and need to sweep a curve around a helix while staying tangent to the top surface. It is kind of hard to explain so I have attached the model I have started. I figured I could create the top surface as a sheet then thicken it. If you know of an easier way please let me know. Thanks.
