Is there a way to create a helix using parameters?

[Andrew_Turner]

Couldn’t find anything, but could really use the functionality. I’m creating a 3-d printable helix (pretty small) to coil around another object, and may have to make adjustments to fine-tune it. Would like to do this parametrically obviously…
I saw some older posts (5 years old maybe) but nothing new.

Thanks

quickest way is probably to call this from a c#/python/vb

Here’s a little trick I used a few years ago:

In real life I Internalize the Axis inputs. Note that Twist’s I (Infinite) value is set to True.
