Can someone tell me an easy way to create a screw in 3DS 3. It doesn't have to be extremely detailed. I tried lofting a shape up a helix path but the shape kept on rotating itself. Is there a distributor or someone who might have meshes already made of all kinds of screws? Thanks for any info. Andrew

Hi Andrew, Check in Library\Mesh\Project Files\Lofted Bolt PRJ file. From the description James Coulter left it sounds like this is exactly what you are looking for. With some minor tweaking of course. Timothy <Pixel Pusher> NVision Inc. & Digibotics

Andrew: You may just need to set the Loft Banking parameter to NO. This should keep your shapes from twisting. Say hello to Miles for me. – Bob Ritger
