Hello everyone, Could someone please help out with a specific requirement regarding a spring design? I do create a simple spring by using the rotation tool but then want to finish one end on a straight rope. Trying to do so I‘m struggling to create a smooth natural transition. Instead, there’s a e…

Dear both, thanks again for your input. That’s exactly what I want as result. :+1: Unfortunately it seems that I’m a much less experienced user than you are. I tried to follow each way explained but couldn’t reach your results. Would you mind to explain a bit more the essential steps? I much appr…

Hi, Congratulations on your proposals guys! I like this kind of thread. Personally I will do it “the old-fashioned way”. First, create the spring and the rounded angle with tangency constraints so as not to break. All on a single curve. (no bodies, no Revolve) Second, use this very fluid curve t…

Theoretically…For the spring body, sweeping on the spiral edge created by a revolve command is the best solution, because the position of the cross section causes the problem, the revolve use vertical cros-section, for the sweep I used “on curve at point”. After that, several steps can follow. […

An other question; How to extract this 3D curve obtain by Revolve ? Thanks [Capture d’écran 2025-05-30 à 14.33.22]

So this can go in any direction

Irregular part can be drawn on the cylinder.
