Helix function keeps on disappearing (by James Cotsell)
Hi Forum, I am hoping someone may be able to help me. I am using solvespace to make some threads and I have been using the helix function which is great. However, it seems to keep on disappearing. I have the latest version of the programme loaded on a Windows 11 platform. When I open it the first time after downloading it, the helix function is there. However, after closing and opening again, the helix function disappears. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem and if so, would there be a fix for it. Many thanks, James

James,

I haven't had that issue before. If you upload the file I can try and troubleshoot it for you though.

Thanks and a scaling question (by James Cotsell)
Thanks so much for the response and nice to hear from someone whose videos I watch. For some reason the problem remedied itself and the helix function is working well. I have another quick question. I have a fairly amorphous shape that I would like to offset slightly smaller so I can extride it as a hollow and I was wondering if there is a way to do this. Thanks in advance, James
