Joining coils

[Anonymous]

Could someone simplify the process of taking two coils starting off symetrically in a vertical and opposite direction, and joinng each other evenly at the same point.
Something like attach., except smooth and even

Can you post the part, zipped?

I could, but it is a bunch of garbage. A trial and error attempt in the office that I now have to do correctly. Well, here it is.

I would completely remake the part, and simplify it.

1. Make the bottom "elbow" as a 3D sketch using the Spline.
2. Using created axes, add colinear constraints between the axis and the
spline handles
3. Do a centerline loft using the spline path.


Attached is a starter example. Be sure to start over fresh and constrain all
sketched fully.

The simplest way to keep section circular is to avoid using loft.
This is my attempt made only by sweeps.
A little right path make you sure to keep the section perpendicular to
the path.
