Just passing through, headed out to early dinner.
I'll catch up tonight.

Hey CAB:

Nice dinner?
Well,i saw you're picture and that was exactly what i wanted to do but the code you posted in another subject of mine doesn't do what appeared in the picture.In your code(c:zahex)the spiral appears in tne solid interior other thanface to face with the solid faces.
Why does that happen?
Other than that it's perfect...

Thank you

PS-i wrote this post in case i don't meet you here later

[Zahex]

forgot this...

example:

command prompt:"keep the (s)olid or create s(t)ructure?:" if the user choses (t) how do i define that the solid is erased so that the structure is drawn?(knowing that i have 2 defuns one for each:(defun solid) and (defun structure))

Thanks

Yes, thanks.

I suspect that if the picture is what you are after and you entered the responses as I did in the code above.
That is like this:
 larger radius: 120
 smaller radius: 60
 height: 200
 number of polygon sides: 6
 insertion point: Number of spirals: 4
Extrusion radius: 25
Turns: 6

The problem is most likely a system variable in your environment that is not the same as in my environment.
Upload your drawing with the attempted results using the entries above to the link at the top of this page.
In other words click on 'Lilly Pond'  above using your user name & password to upload your drawing.

Sorry the question is unclear to me.

If you want to delete an entity you already have the name of use (entdel <entName>)

The program you did only works with the values you defined in your previous code?
What i mean is,it only works with these values?:

That is like this:
larger radius: 120
smaller radius: 60
height: 200
number of polygon sides: 6
insertion point: Number of spirals: 4
Extrusion radius: 25
Turns: 6

i would want it to work for all values..

thanks
