Hi Michael,

I discovered what I was doing wrong, I just realised that the 'flat' option only works the way it should when the axis of the thread/spring is along the z axis, so if I do the same thing with the axis on the y direction you get funny twists, I guess if I want to orientate the sweep say along the y axis then I would have to set up the cplane to make the axis, z then reset the cplane later.

What about, when you pick the flat option, x y z tick boxes appear so you can pick what direction it will force the sweep, because we don't always model something like this in the z axis ?
