Of all the hundreds of scripts available i justknow one of them can do this:

Array an object in any specified number around an axis (in 3d) rather than around a point (in 2d) - so the same as Circular Array but in 3d.

I know it's an easy thing to simply Array around a point and then move the results to where they're needed - but this is a function I use fairly often & it'd be nice to miss out that last step ;)

Please someone point out the obvious answer - I've had the 'flu & my brain is on downtime.....

Draw your curve
And use Transform / Array Curve! ;)

here a tapered helix, but you can take any sort of curve (s)! :)

Hi Raven, you can make the circular array oriented to a 3D axis by using View > CPlane to set the construction plane before doing the circular array.

When you set the construction plane all 2D drawing tools including array circular will be done in that orientation.

When you're done working in that area you can right click on View > CPlane to reset it back to the world axes.
