Can somebody help me to solve my problem. I need to make a tube surrounded by a helix. The tube has a circular section. The sweep path is a 3D sketch or a spline.
Thanks in advance,
Hans

our SolidSketch add-in can wrap any sketch around any surface (see
draw a circle for the helix diameter and then use the helix tool as appropriate to make your path, make a normal plane on one end and draw your profile with pierce relation, sweep. make your tube as required by usual means
I agree with Neil, but add that you can also make your tube then insert a cut using the Curve / helix and then cut the profile into the tube on the helix.
