Overview of PolygonHelix UDP is an overview of the PolygonHelix UDP. “Polygon” means the cross-section of the helix is a polygon, which by default is a square (PolygonSegments set to 4).
Polygon helices in Parameters of PolygonHelix UDP on x-y plane. and Parameters of PolygonHelix UDP on axial direction. have the default settings of this UDP, whereas each of the polygon helices in Different RadiusChange value (non-zero); the value in Parameters of PolygonHelix UDP on x-y plane. is 0. to Different Turns value (3); the value in Parameters of PolygonHelix UDP on axial direction. is 2. has only one parameter value that is different from the defaults shown in Parameters of PolygonHelix UDP on x-y plane. and Parameters of PolygonHelix UDP on axial direction..
Parameters of PolygonHelix UDP on x-y plane.
Parameters of PolygonHelix UDP on axial direction.
Different RadiusChange value (non-zero); the value in Parameters of PolygonHelix UDP on x-y plane. is 0.
Different SegmentsPerTurn value (24); the value in Parameters of PolygonHelix UDP on x-y plane. is 36.
Left-handed (RightHanded set to 0) helix; Parameters of PolygonHelix UDP on axial direction. shows a right-handed helix.
Different PolygonSegments value (6); the value in Parameters of PolygonHelix UDP on axial direction. is 4.
Different Turns value (3); the value in Parameters of PolygonHelix UDP on axial direction. is 2.
