Helix Amendment
Helix Amendment
(OP)
Hi,
I have drawn using the helix and tube tools a copper coil for heat transfer-see image below.

What I would like to do is extend the start and end points so that I end up with this-see image below.

All I did to do this was create a datum plane at the start and end points, then draw the lines and apply the tube tool to each individually. When I try and apply the tube tool to all 3 curves, it doesn't like it because either they are not connected or are not 'smooth'?
How can I do this?
Thanks

There are 10 ways to do everything, and 9 of them are perfectly valid.

Technically, the glass is always full.

Speaking of whichthat's one of the bad things about the history feature: You can find out just which of your coworkers are incompetents.
Sometimes it's just better not to know.
