Hello,
thank you pascal Goley but it is not what I would like to mean…
please find what I search
As a start, use the command “Spiral” to create the basic cone. Then copy the spiral in the vertical, at a distance equal to the step height. Create a vertical square with two points touching on the ends of both spiral curves, and use Sweep2 to create the shape. You will have to experiment a bit to get the top and bottom parts right.
I do not know what exactly you are designing, but keep in mind that a shape like this has an ever increasing steepness towards the top.
Max.
edit: procedure changed to get a more accurate shape.
thanks a lot, it is exactly what I was searching
