Hello! please does anyone know how to build a shape like this(the golden object)? I have tried helix but it does not work…thank you very much!
Hi Luke,
Make a cup shaped surface where you want the golden object to end up. I did this with a revolved curve:
Make a helix centred on the axis of the cup and with a radius larger than the cup, with the desired number of turns. The helix probably should be a little shorter than the cup. Draw a horizontal line from each end of the helix to the centreline:
Sweep the horizontal lines, using the helix as the rail, and taking the Roadlike option:
Create an intersection curve between the swept surface and the cup:
Pipe the intersection curve to create the golden object:
If you want the rectangular base to the object you obviously need to do more work - probably easiest if you extend the intersection curve before piping.
