|
Create a helix on a cylinder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
helix(data: HelixData, extrude_group: ExtrudeGroup) -> ExtrudeGroup
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const part001 = startSketchOn('XY')
|
|
|> circle([5, 5], 10, %)
|
|
|> extrude(10, %)
|
|
|> helix({ revolutions: 16, angle_start: 0 }, %)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Arguments
|
|
|
|
* `data`: `HelixData` - Data for helices. (REQUIRED)
|
|
```js
|
|
{
|
|
// Start angle (in degrees).
|
|
angle_start: number,
|
|
// Is the helix rotation counter clockwise? The default is `false`.
|
|
ccw: string,
|
|
// Length of the helix. If this argument is not provided, the height of the extrude group is used.
|
|
length: number,
|
|
// Number of revolutions.
|
|
revolutions: number,
|
|
}
|
|
```
