More helix testing


Some more helix testing in Grasshopper (no scripting yet as you may notice from the messy layout). The question is now: How to make a smooth transition between helixes with different angle?
EDIT: Download ghx-file.

  1. Hello,
    I would love to see your grasshopper definition to draw a helix curve! I am trying it but I cannot understand it enough.
    Thanks!

  2. Hi Carlos,
    I've put the ghx-file here:
    http://omkrets.se/grasshopper/123-helix-from-plane.zip
    It basically generates a bunch of points along a helix by using some trigonometry. The points are interpolated to a curve which is copied and lofted.
    As I said it's rather messy, but hopefully you can make some sense of it...

  3. Hello Marten,
    This is amazing, thank you for sharing! The sliders are very informative and the solution is elegant.
