I am wondering if anyone has ever gotten a snaking kind of path that a "helix" of sorts would follow. Then say a profile of a circle sent along that helix to create a sprial that follows that helix which followed that path.....I know I know, it might be hard to envision so I will use my artist skills to try and elaborate.
create a floor, say 20'x15', and then extrude it out say 1'. Doesn't matter really. Now from the top face of the model you sketch a shape much like a snake never overlapping itself but winding all about, using the spline tool. Now imagine that you could create a helix that would sprial around this snaking spline, once again never touching, but following the spline. Which a profile , of say a circle, could then be placed at the end of that sprialing helix and swept around it.
Any takers.....lol
