Hi guys,

I wanted to create a telephone wire, my attempt is to create a helix, then sweep and finally Flow to adapt the helix to the destination path ... I have deformations in the final shape ... how can I fix?

Hi Tony, you should check out those tutorials above but the fix for your case there would be to use Flow just on the path curve and then do the sweep, instead of doing the sweep first and then the flow afterwards.

That would then avoid the compression and expansion that you have noted.
