Is there a way to create twisted cable or wire? I can create a helix using the revolve tool then copy and rotate it to make a twisted double helix shape, but the revolve tool only works with straight lines, not an arc or spline. I want it to look like flexible twisted wire (like the attached image).…

[image] Tapered thread Need help? We are here. I need to draw up and print a tapered thread and I see there were a couple of threads started several years ago but none seemed to go anywhere. One was requesting advice to do exactly what I need to draw up but unfortunately t…

Perfect, this should work for my needs. Thanks.

Wow, that’s really tedious. Hopefully we’ll get 3D path support in the future to make that a whole lot easier.

It kind of works. Okay representation but it is an inaccurate spring model. Definitely a hack. Revolve on a path needed.

Revolve to a guide path would be nice.
