Parameters
- Reversed
- True creates a constant-pitch helix or spiral in the opposite direction of the circle used to define the diameter, false creates a constant-pitch helix or spiral in the direction of the circle's normal vector; the normal vector of a circle, for example, would be off the screen if the circle were drawn in a counter-clockwise direction
- Clockwised
- True for clockwise, false for counter-clockwise
- Tapered
- True to taper the constant-pitch helix, false for no taper
- Outward
- True to taper the constant-pitch helix outward, false for inward
- Helixdef
Constant-pitch helix or spiral definition as defined by swHelixDefinedBy_e
- Height
- Height of constant-pitch helix in meters
- Pitch
- Constant-pitch helix or spiral pitch
- Revolution
- Number of revolutions
- TaperAngle
- Taper angle of constant-pitch helix
- Startangle
- Start angle rotation from base axis in radians
