Hello everyone, I am looking for a solution to model an helical ramp.
Thanks for your help.

Thank you franck. I tried this with a helix spline but the profile does not hold flat. How did you keep the profile flat?

Sweep-creator has a Rotate-sweep property.

* An alternative may be a loft between 4 helices.
* Add a shell and bingo.

That's fantastic. (Yes, I live in Dallas.)

The rotate sweep! That's the thing I did not see. Once again, thank you very much Frank. And thank you to the other for their contribution.
