Description
The 
Part Helix geometric primitive creates a helix shape, defined by a radius, a pitch, and a total height.
A common usage for the helix primitive is for creating screw threads in conjunction with a closed profile, and the 
Sweep operation. This process works essentially the same in the PartDesign Workbench by using the 
PartDesign Additive pipe tool.
Usage
- Switch to the
Part Workbench. - The Create Primitives dialogue can be accessed several ways:
- Pressing the
Primitives button located in the Part toolbar. - Using the Part → Create primitives → Helix entry in the Part menu.
- Pressing the
Parameter
- Pitch:The pitch corresponds to the space between two consecutive "turns" of the helix measured along the main axis of the helix.
- Height: The height corresponds to the overall height of the helix measured along the main axis of the helix.
- Radius: The radius corresponds to the radius of the circle built by the helix by viewing the helix from the top or bottom.
- Angle: Per default the helix is built on a imaginary cylinder. With this option it is possible to build the helix on a imaginay cone. This angle corresponds to the angle of the cone. The value must be comprised between 0 and +90 deg.
- Right-handed or Left-handed: This parameter specifies the handedness of the helix.
Location
- X: The main axis of the helix will be translated along the x axis of the value you indicate in this field.
- Y: The main axis of the helix will be translated along the y axis of the value you indicate in this field.
- Z: The main axis of the helix will be translated along the z axis of the value you indicate in this field.
- Direction: Per default the main axis of the helix is the z axis. Here you have the possibility to edit the main axis of the helix. If you select the parameter "user defined..." , you will be invited to indicate the main axis of the helix by entering the coordinates of its vector.
- 3D View: allows you select center in the 3D view
Options
Properties
Once you have created the helix you have the possibility to edit its parameters.
