Hello Michael, thank you for the information!

Since MoI is my first foray into 3D field, I'm currently most focused on learning whatever I can about it - while I was expecting the 'no can't do' answer, I asked to make sure I did not miss some blatantly obvious modelling trick. :)

Hi Michael G. & Jacob,

Attached is MoI file that I was playing with to make a psuedo helix about a curve. I generated a 3D curve, put a triangle at one end and arrayed it along the curve. I then generated a second 3D curve through the corners of the triangles clocking to the next corner of each triangle until the end. Then I generated a couple of circles at the ends of the 3D curves and swept them. The tightness of the psuedo helix will be controlled by the number of triangles that are arrayed.

Hope this might help out.

Michael T.
