Screw Modifier¶

The Screw modifier is similar to the Screw tool in the Toolbar, in that it takes a profile object, a mesh or a curve, to create a helix-like shape.

Properly aligning the profile object is important.¶

The profile should be properly aligned to the cardinal direction of the object rather than to the screw axis.

Opciones¶

The Screw modifier.¶

Ángulo

Degrees for a single helix revolution.

Enroscar

Offsets the revolution along its axis.

Iteracciones

Number of revolutions.

Eje

The axis along which the helix will be built.

Objeto de Ejes

The name of an object to define the axis direction.

Object Screw: Use the distance from the Axis Object to define the height of one helix iteration.

Steps Viewport

Number of steps used for a single revolution displayed in the 3D Viewport.

Procesar

As above, but used during render time. Increase to improve quality.

Fusionar

Merge vertices that lie on the axis of rotation. Use this to close off end points with a triangle fan.

Stretch UVs

Stretch the UV coordinates from (0.0 to 1.0) when UVs are present.

Smooth Shading: Output faces with smooth shading rather than flat shading. The smooth/flat shading of the input geometry is not preserved.
Calculate Order: Order of edges is calculated to avoid problems with normals and shading. Only needed for meshes, not curves.
Invertir: Flip normals direction.
