Parameters
- Reversed
- True creates a helix in the opposite direction of the circle used to define the helix diameter, false creates a helix 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 helix, false for no taper
- Outward
- True to taper the helix outward, false for inward
- Helixdef
Helix definition:
- 0 = (pitch and rev)
- 1 = (height and rev)
- 2 = (height and pitch)
- 3 = (spiral)
- Height
- Height of helix in meters
- Pitch
- Helix pitch
- Revolution
- Number of revolutions
- TaperAngle
- Taper angle
- Startangle
- Start angle rotation from base axis in radians
