Hi,

Anyone would like share some tips to make spiral beveled ring around…?
Starting and end point are thin and middle is wider.

Thanks,
Imran.

Hi Imran,

I would use a Volume Builder/Mesher set up.

You can create with a Helix the spiral, and while creating a Current State to Object from the Helix, use different Height Bias values to increase the width (middle) for the subtraction if the splines.

The splines itself need to be projected to the bottle.

If I had a specific project file, I could perhaps share more details.

All the best

Yes… Thanks for the tip. Helix with different Height Bias, getting that spiral shape.

I tried that but by setting Height Bias it moves up and I loosing middle thickness.

Thanks.

Hi Imran,

Create a Helix, make a copy.
Pull them in P.Y apart for the minimum distance.
Then set both Height Bias, so they create a more substantial middle part. Set one down and the other one up; in this way, the curve stays balanced.

yes, I did that but I was loosing the spiral shape….!

Then I saw model again so these are two rings…. not one. And now it is correct. Thanks for the tips.
and shrink wrap works perfectly over the shape.

Really thanks for helping, and best regards.

You’re very welcome, Imran, thanks for the reply!

Here is a little interactive example:

Let me know if there is anything else, as I said before, I’m happy to look into it.

My best wishes for your project.
