i am modeling a power cord coil, i know how to make a normal helix, but i dont want it to be a perfect circle. is there a way to make a helix that is an oval shape?
One way is to draw the shape you want, extrude it as a surface, then make a helical surface and get an intersection curve between the two surfaces, then use that curve for the sweep. There should be lots of examples of that technique around.
