Helix turn direction with expressions?

Helix turn direction with expressions?

Helix turn direction with expressions?

(OP)
Is there a way in NX to use expressions to control the direction (left-hand, right-hand) of a Helix? Thank you!

Thank you, but I was looking for something to control the radio-button under Curves-->Helix-->Turn direction....unless I am missing something from your solution!?!

RE: Helix turn direction with expressions?

You would have to use my method and then you could just tie in an expression of your choice. From what I can see there is no way to drive the radio buttons by expression using the simple helix command

Best regards
