Helical Sweep - Can't find Start Point option.

[bpenza]

I'm doing a helical sweep based on an arc.line.arc profile.  The start point is not at the end of the arc.  I am trying to right-click to get the "startpoint" option on the side menu.  But I cannot get it to display.   Very frustrating because last time I did this, it came right up. 

Is there some trick to this?

Thanks.

Look for a non-tangency.  Or you didn't get the intent edge and only got the single arc.

If your origin has more than 1 segment, you can use the shift key to add more.

Honestly I didn't know there was an actual button for the start.  I just click the pointer.

edit:  Aha... flip 😉

Thanks for the tip. 

I did just discover that a left-then right click on the point I want to use as the start does bring up the menu I needed. 

Weird stuff. 

Thanks.

True, there is that selection sequence that becomes intuitive ...thing.

Those little context menus are like Easter eggs in video games.

Good point, 

There is nothing like standing in front of a class, trying to make the context menu appear again like it did everytime when you were working alone. 

Fun stuff.
