Dear all, I’m trying to understand how I might form a spring around a curve, as in my kitchen tap (faucet). In the example here, I’ve ‘bodged’ things around manually, and from a distance it’s okay, but doubt it’d bear close scrutiny. I thought I might be able to create a sweep, but have failed to come up with much of anything. Wondering if someone has any ideas I could try. Many thanks in anticipation… [Kitchen tap]

Hi Wick, here is one way that gets pretty close. [image]How to create twisted cable or wire? Hi, one of our users has created a tutorial for this case, please take a look at it: [Shapr3D Faucet Coil Tutorial] Shapr3D Faucet Coil Tutorial

Hello Bob Thank you for directing me towards that video. One I don’t remember seeing before. I’ll watch it later today after work. Great job!
