Sweep along helix - Fusion 360 (Reddit question)

[@senjos]

Thanks for sharing it. It's very useful. I have a question: I want to make a planter pot. Conical, bottom smaller than top. That's easy. But how can I emboss a pattern to it, and that it closes seamlessly on the back? What ever I tried, I got weird results.

It's possible but take some work. I'd use the thinking in this video on how to put hexagons on a cylinder kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4rFn4eArbOCeqs if the pattern repeats around the cone, and this video on how to put text on a cone kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqbHYmCjj6d6mtE. If the pattern is more of a spiral style I'd use a surface sweep and work from that. What I'm trying to explain is that it depends a lot on the typ of pattern.

Didn't work for cuts unfortunately. When trying to perform a helix cut into a cylinder, it left faces in the cut of the object as if the curves are calculated differently.

kurz und gut! but it is not Helix in horizontal way, well thanks anyway

[@KristianLaholm]

Helix in horizontal way? I'm curious what you are thinking off? A helix is to my knowledge a spiral in 3 dimensions.
