shapes other then a pipe ( e.g.helix) that can bend along a spline

[Anonymous]

Today I can overlay a pipe design over a spline and bend any way I want... easy.

What is not possible is to change the design of the pipe-surface...apparently one can't add material to or remove material from the pipe-model which is present in the fusion 360 "create" function. And if you could... the pipe will no longer bend along a spline.

Attached file clarifies the situation.

I was trying to model an old classic double helix covered Rebar and overlay this over a spline so I could be bend anyway I want... just like in the "create-a-pipe" function.

Why can't we add custom shapes  to the "create" function and twist and bend these just like the pipe model.

thanks, Piet
