Watched an nice instruction on creating a Spring, this example is one method, however I want to have 1 1/2 - 2 turns at the TOP & BOTTOM, know that I need to edit the design to add those feature with the 'VARIABLE' comand, however I cannot find it within the 'SWEEP' command as the Utube instructions explain, therefore I'm asking for some assistance to find out how to get to the 'VARIABLE' comand.
Link to YouTube reference, just like in school.
Sounds like you missed a step in creating the path.
Yep, once I went to the Helix-Spiral I discovered the issue, the U-Tube instruction had left that out.
Thanks for the reply.
