Handrail Volute (Scroll)

[Vladimir_Roman]

Hello everyone,

Thanks in advance for your help.

Has anyone here modeled a handrail volute in Rhino? I’m trying to understand the basic modeling approach and the best way to construct the geometry.

If anyone could explain the main principles or workflow they use—for example, how to create the volute path, control the transition, and generate the handrail profile along it—I would really appreciate it.

Any examples, screenshots, or Rhino commands/workflows would also be very helpful.

Thank you for your help.

I would like to layout the outline curves, add some profile curves, then sweep/loft/networksrf my way to being done. But it never works out that way. I sometimes use tsplines and fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, until I get a shape that kinda matches my outline curves. But I can never get a scroll like the one in the picture. I am aware …
