Hi Gunter,
In the first video, I used the rotate by axis command to rotate "around your lines", and the created arc to get a center point for aligning the helix's center vertically with the lines. (Rotating the helix and leaving the lines stationary)
Here's another way where I use the edit frames rotation abilities and just rotate the entire geometry set so the lines are at the "12 o'clock" position (Aligned).... I also use "BoundingBoxCenter" instead of drawing the 3 pt. arc to get the center of the helix.
Thanks ever so much for taking the time to make and explain the video.
Unfortunately, from what I can tell the centre of the spiral is still to one side of the two vertical lines. In other words the centre of the spiral is not inline with the two lines. I'm looking for it to be in the centre while still connecting to them.
Hi gunter,
No, you missed it. In the first video i moved the center of the spiral to be in line with the lines. In the second video i rotated the lines to be in line with the center of the spiral.
Unless i misunderstood what what you mean by "in line"?
Others seem to be responding reading your request as "starting and ending the spiral at the poles"????? A spiraled sphere?
