draw a helix with thickness

[franzarch]

Hello everyone
I have a small problem, that is...I would like to draw a helical aspirator (with helical command) and then give it a thickness (like an extrusion to the propeller)
I don't know if I've been clear, but I hope you can help me.

draws the profile (closed) and then sweep by selecting the propeller as a path.

but it doesn't work

I have to create a height helix (in 3d) of 2cm thickness, how should I do? ?

 

[GP.]

design design design South piano a polyline (closed, otherwise a surface is created instead of the solid) corresponding to the section of the propeller, I have created a triangle, you create the form you need.
command sweep, select the poly, send, select the propeller.
ocio that the result depends on how orienti the poly and the command options, see also the help.
special combinations of helix/polyline could generate self-intersecting curve errors, it is necessary to dismantle a little.

I forgot, since 2007.

I can't

He says:
select the objects to perform the sweep:
impossible to sweep or extrusion of non-storey objects.
1 object removed from the selection group.

the polylinea to be extruded must be drawn on the xy plane

the polylinea to be extruded must be drawn on the xy plane

not necessarily, the important thing is that the summits belong to the same plan, which apparently franz neglected.

bhe, plan xy intended for local ucts

http://progettistacatia3d.blogspot.com/simple with autocad, creating the profile and then applying the sweep! you should see how easy and fast it is to do it with the v5 cat!
