Helix on path?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can think of a way to extrude a helix on a path - like on a telephone cord or rope. I puzzled my brains, but I couldn't think of a way to do it in Cheetah. The screen shot is from Silo - to illustrate what I mean - but it's a bit of a work-around. You can't edit the guide path of the coil once you've made it, and the swept profile dosn't bank well in tight corners. Plus the coils also tend to bunch up in the corners. Ideas anyone? Thanks.
