Bent Spring

[dbower1]

Morning all,




I am trying to model a spring with a bend in it, similar to the attached image. Cant figure it out, must be Monday morning.



Thanks for any help

Your helical sweep traj can be made in the initial curve direction, then create your spring.

See if this technique will get the job done.

For those that might be interested, I sent the attached to David
yesterday. All it is missing is a swept blend using the intersection
curve.
