Scripts to use to construct an auger?
-
Is there a script that can be used in combination with one of helix scripts to make an auger?
-
Got a picture of what you have in mind and what shapes in it are most troublesome?

Hi Chris:
I was thinking of drawing section of a fin, produce a helix, and a line defining the centerline of the shaft (or simply use an SU axis) and have the "tip" of the fin section revolve along the helix path.
Perhaps a second script to draw the tappered threads of a screw.
-
Something like this?
-
a super roughed out quick try....
curvemaker, extrude edges by rail, & joint push pull..

Hi Jeff,
Have you tried the screw.rb or k-tools?
I asked a long time ago how to make a screw thread?
and got some great suggestions.Just a thought?
-
Sorry John, you got the wrong guy - I was the only one who did not submit an attempt
Was it Jeff's or rclub's that you were refering to. -
Between Jeff, John , Chris & Rich it's Led to some crossed wires!
I meant to say 'Hi John'
oh well....
Hi John and Chris and Jeff, let's stop screwing around!
-
Yes, RClub. That is close.

Reclub: The screw script seemed to work (a bit quirky though). I did one revolution, made it into a component, and then made adjacent duplicates.
Jeff: I'm not sure how you used Extrude Edges by Rail. Could you diagram your method?
Thanks, John
