Special Features: Sweep, Loft and Wrap

Note the Helix command has options to make it Counterclockwise,

Clockwise, Tapered, Variable pitch and reversed (going right or left).

9.3. - Once the Helix is done, we need to make the profile sketch for the sweep.

Switch to a Right view and add a new sketch in the "Right Plane" as shown. Make

the circle close to the Helix ...

L

helix. This way the profile will be located at the beginning of the helix. This relation

will make the sketch fully defined. Exit the profile sketch when done.
