Hi Brian, does that one match the script above? It looks like they have different names - CantedCoilSpring.js versus CantedToroidalHelix.js ...

Sorry, it is the same htm.

I've dropped toroidal thoughts for now.

Wrote a canted helix script, but of course it does not work.
It sort of worked for a while, but now I've completely broken it. :-)
I always get messed up with t = 1/(number of something). And number of coils per unit length.

Got the CantedHelix script to work.
It was necessary to adjust the formulas.
(The use of w had to be modified.)

Picture:

I suppose it could be turned into a toroid, without too many hours of work?

Hi Brian, yeah what about using Flow to bend it around a circle like you showed earlier in this thread?

- Michael

Flow should work great!

I'm curious if the skewed helix is the same as a canted one...

The script does't set the length like the MoI helix command can...

Yes, these are very cool springs! Making a lamp that can twist... Still very much in progress.

The script works perfectly in combination with the Flow function.
Thank you very much, both of you.

Best,
Morten
