Modifying a part

Modifying a part

Modifying a part

(OP)
Hello everyone!
First time in the forum, and it is because I am new in Solidworks (started a couple of months ago, so I have designed a part which has to be modified, getting the spiral shape shown in the picture (maybe I'll need modify it a little bit too).
Can somebody help me with that? I've been trying so long and I can not get it.
Thanks beforehand

RE: Modifying a part

If you spiral is already in a sketch then you should be able to extrude it as a thin feature. You should also look into the sweep feature if your profile is not square.

Oh, yes, I did the first thing, and i was thinking about doing the same second option (sweep feature), but as it has those square cuts and the waves it will be hard to do that (for a newbie)
