why not use helix? |

In your case you just draw a helix with your profile and subtract it from your cylinder, wouldn't you? |

Custom "cutter" and path |
Bernd Felsche | 5.7.2008 |
I'd like to define a 3D shape using a cutter of a pre-defined profile (e.g. square or hemispreical) to follow a 3D path. Specifically, this would be to form a spiral groove around the outside of a cylinder at a possibly-variable pitch along a specified length of the cylinder. Can this be done "easily" with a non-obvious combination of existing stuff in VariCAD? If it weren't difficult, I wouldn't ask. |
