Hi Ben,
I need to model a helical rooster crown!
The file contains the profile of the part and the helix it needs to follow. The part needs to end up 3mm thick midplane about the helix line. Hope you can help.

Thanx for the model, but not quite what i am looking for. Hard to explain but the finished article is a 3mm thick part made from the profile and then twisted around the helix. It is one segment of a scroll for an agitator shaft.

Just wondering if your issue was addressed? If not maybe we can help further.
If you edit the sweep you can change how the profile follows the path…

Hi, Sorry for delay in replying. I have attached a further model to try and explain what i am trying to achieve. I am looking at a 3mm sheet scroll with the ‘tooth’ form cut from itAttachment - 2009_7_7_9_28
