Heya

I tried doing just a tall, thin cylinder with a taper then a twist, but the twist literally twists it (of course) which makes the roundness sqish. I get the desired shape from a Spring, however, I cannot taper the end so it goes from thick to thin.

So basically I want it to go 360 around, thick at the bottom to thin at the top around the center. much like [this] deviation.

Any suggestions would be greatly welcomed!

Thanks,
Seith

Hey Seith, Try using helix as a shape with extrude along spline option. It will work fine...
