Cord_Coil_Rope
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
How to use:
Use the tool in the same way as the sweep- or pipe-tool in Autodesk® Fusion 360™.
First, draw a curve:
Then go to SOLID / CREATE / Create Sketch and select a Plane (screen-center)
Now you are in Sketch-Mode. Go to CREATE / line and draw a curve by arcs and lines or use the spline tool.
Start the Script by typing 'SHIFT S' and selecting Cord_Coil_Rope and Run.
The tool offers three modes:
Coil-Mode draws one wire around your curve, Cord-Mode two and Rope-Mode four wires.
'Thickness' is the strength of each wire and 'Broadness' is the Strength of the whole Coil/Rope.
'Rotations' describe how often each wire spirals around your curve.
Do your selections and press OK.
Finish Sketch (left side of the Menu)
