Create an inclined Helix, (non vertical)

Hello everybody!
Im having trouble creating a helix around this central shape. The two options available are around curve or vertical. If the axis of this shape is taken as the curve, the helix does not touch the ground…

Thanks for any help. Heres the file. Helix.3dm (762.5 KB)

Hi Shynn - make it vertical and then Shear it to match. Does that do it?

Mmmm Im not being able to achieve it. The shear commands seems to create many random shapes.

I tried creating the cylinder vertically with the helix, and then trying to share it to match the inclined cylinder, but no luck.

Hm - maybe I am not doing what you need, but take a look at the attached thing - is that it (blue curve)?

Thats what Im looking for, the plane orientation was the issue, was thinking about redrawing the plane…

Thanks
