Suggestions for doing this

Hi.

This would be very easy if Hélix could follow a rail, and I think it would be a very powerful tool.
But since that doesn't exist, I don't know how to do it.

Cheers

Hi Booleano, the tutorial above looks perfect for you but I thought I'd just add that the Transform > Deform > Flow tool is the one to use for mapping a straight object onto a rail path:

Thanks Pilou.

I'm not very adept at looking for topics on the Internet
The web that you indicate is very good for me to continue learning to control MOI.

Cheers

Thank you Michael.

After trying various methods to do this, I decided to consult the forum, where you can always find help or solutions.
And after posting the question I remembered that Flow could be the method to do it.
But I have to say that the Flow tool confuses me a lot, because it is difficult to know how to control the result, at least for me in the tests I did when I tried it, following the manual.

Cheers

If you have a case where the result is confusing you, please post a .3dm model file with the objects in it and maybe I'll be able to give some tips.

Hi Michael.
That seems perfect to me.
I am going to look for the tests I did with Flow, which did not go well and I publish it.
As always your help and attention is great.
Thanks a lot.
