Spiral within a Lofted sweep surface

Observations:

  • The addition of circular disks on the ramp is a significant departure from the original intent of this thread.

  • The thread title isn’t accurate anyway since the two truncated curved cone shapes are neither lofts nor sweeps.

  • The code is becoming spaghetti with several distinct pieces including:

  1. making the two curves that define the RevSrf “cones”
  2. creating the ramp (two versions)
  3. creating the disks
  4. adding dimension annotations.

It could be split into pieces using Hops and Data Output/Input components to facilitate multiple contributors and interchangeable parts.

The code I posted using Anemone to make the disks is only a first draft; I can see several ways to polish and improve it, including the possibility of replacing the Anemone loop with Python. This inspired the observations and suggestion to split the code into pieces that can be modified separately.

P.S. What is the name of this shape? (spacetime)

I just enabled preview on the curved cones and noticed that with %Radius set to 0.99, the disks penetrate the outer RevSrf, especially at the bottom. Even 0.9 scratches the outer surface.
