Thank you for your efforts on this. It appears this task cannot be completed quickly using standard MoI tools. However, Michael showed a MoI-script that reduces the workload by helping to create the spiral manually.

The exploration of CAM was an interesting idea, though mine was unfortunately unable to generate the required construct in this case.

Ultimately, it seems that performing this task with standard tools is difficult without custom coding. Unless this is a task we need to perform daily, the manual script solution likely remains the most efficient approach.

Hey Joerg,
Not for lack of trying, eh!

Looked at my CAM software. What we are doing is called a “morph spiral” and its more complex for sure.

It was a good exercise looking at how ai failed with the “more complex” parts of the solve. It definitely highlighted what the “complex” part is. Thats where rubbish was returned

Happy trails….

Hi Joerg,
1 last note. A side note.

Thought about it more and vector programs can do this pretty easily. So draw a spiral then “fit it to another shape” basically.

Just in case you can do that as an option
