Hi There,
I am trying to model a snail shell. I have a profile and a taperinghelix much like a normal spring modeling. However with a smailshell the sweep needs to intersect with itself to end up thecorrect shape.
However solidworks does not like this, and will only let me sweep aprofile small enough to allow it not to touch itself.
How can I get it to make a snail shell model.
Many thanks
