2.Helix Again

I just can't help myself doing this useless stuff, AGAIN!!. But it's true that I've learned lots of useful things while I've been doing something useless.

Original Helix in Dynamo

It was a great news for me that there is an easy way to make a helix in Dynamo. Helix.ByAxis is the one as below.

But, there is no limit to people's my greed.

Helix Again

I've already posted about helix years ago. One of the readers asked me a question.
"How to make one way helix with pattern method?"

Yes. I've explained the way only for double helix at the last post.

Revit always makes two side faces when it creates a cylinder as above. So you need another formula to make one way helix.

Here is a picture to get the formulas.

Helix, Helix, Helix...

When did you start using Revit?

In my case, it was the year of 2010. I've been using SketchUp for Modeling & Design, 3ds-max for rendering, and Autocad for drafting until then.

Revit was just awesome for me at the first time. But it took not much time for me to realize that modeling in Revit is not that easy comparing with SU or 3ds. Practicing was the only way to make it easy for me.

Few month later, someone asked me about how to make a Helix with Revit. Hmm.. that wasn't an easy mission for me at that time. And this one simple question made me to begin a journey to Helix.

I started googling. It was the first time for me to get to know Zach's blog. And This was what I read.

Step 1. Stacked Points

I've tried to follow, but could't get some parts to make it at that time.

So I found my own way like this.
