Creating a Helix Dimensionally

You can also create a helix by entering the height (the total length of the helix). Press Tab to switch between dimension fields and preview the helix. Click the Full Pull option to create the entire helix based on the dimensions.

The common pull options are described in Pull Options. Once you select the edge or face to pull, select these options from the Options panel, or right-click and select them from the mini-toolbar.
