Constant pitch |
(Helix only.) Creates a helix with a constant pitch. |
Variable pitch |
(Helix only.) Creates a helix with a pitch that varies based on the region parameters you specify in the table below. |
Region parameters |
(Variable pitch helix only). Sets the number of revolutions (Rev), height (H), diameter (Dia), and pitch (P) for regions along the helix. Parameters that are inactive or for information only are shown in gray. |
Height |
(Helix only.) Sets the height. |
Pitch |
For helixes:
|
Sets the distance between turns.
|
For spirals:
|
Sets the radial distance between revolutions of the curve.
|
|
Revolutions |
Sets the number of turns. |
Reverse direction |
For helixes:
|
Extends the helix backwards from the point of origin.
|
For spirals:
|
Creates an inward spiral.
|
|
Start angle |
Sets where to start the first turn on the sketched circle. |
Clockwise |
Sets the direction of the turns to clockwise. |
Counterclockwise |
Sets the direction of the turns to counterclockwise. |
