      I'm trying to create a tube with a helix 'hollowed out' from it.

      I only have the free SU version at home and have subsequently tried intersecting but to no avail.

      What am I doing wrong?

      Thanks ... 😳

      EDIT: the tube and helix are only grouped for ease, I intersected them ungrouped.

              Lee,

              I think it's about time you promoted yourself out of the newbie folder πŸ˜‰

                Haha, it did cross my mind, but then you answered this problem and I realised it's the best place for me.
