Helical column

[enrherter]

Hello everybody.
I need to extrude a polygon along an axis that rotates in the style of a helical column or gear. I’m starting with dynamo and I’m doing it as a practice.
Thanks a lot.

Rctangle Sweep with Helix

Good evening Guys, I’d like to kindly ask you for help. I’ve been building this Surface.BySweep with a rectangle as you can see on the picture, but my issue is to make the rectangle perpendicular to the helix and in my case, it seems to rotate around its centre. Does anyone have an idea on how can I make it straight all the way long the helix? Thanks a lot for your support. [Screenshot 2020-12-29 214619] [Screenshot 2020-12-29 215155]

Welcome to the forum @enrherter

Note that the forum language is English, and as such we need al posts to be translated going forward. Sadly this is a requirement for search to work, otherwise I’d be practicing my Swedish.

So sorry for my first question. Next I’ll write in (my regular) English.

I did it. I know it’s not the best way, but I’ll learn.

Good job!!
If you want to, you can select all nodes and then Ctrl+L to clean up the graph.
