AutoCAD 2014 3D - Draw a "Snail" shell

Hey guys, I'm having a hard time trying to draw a 3D model of a snail shell. Basically it is the shell of an hydraulic turbine. Like a spiral on the same plane that starts with a bigger radius circle and ends with a smaller one. I've tried the command "Loft" with two diferent circles and a circular path but it is only working with a continuous path. In this case it does not have a continuous radius. I'm sending a picture for better visualization. Thanks in advance! Cheers. Diogo

You may be better off posting in the AutoCAD forum rather than the Civil 3D forum for this sort of thing

Civil3d is a bit different than 3d modeling. The vanilla ACAD DG may yield more results for you
