OK.... try this...
Make a disc. Use the following settings (Numeric options)
Sides: 6
Segments: 1
Bottom: 0
Top: 0
Axis: Z
Center: X 25
Y 0
Z 0
Radius: X 5
Y 5
Z 0
Units: cm
Then Lathe it with (Numeric)
Start Angle 0
End Angle 3600
Sides 160
Offset 1
Axis Y
Center 0,0,0
Units: Meters
That gives you more of a thick spring than a slinky, but you get the
idea. Since Slinky's are so thing, you may want to try using a 1-pt.
polygon instead of the disc (which will give you a slinky made of 2-point
polys).
You can change the lenght of the slinky by increasing the Offset, and
changing the End Angle will determine the # of spirals in the spring.
You will likly want to increase the Sides if you increase the End Angel,
though.
Hope this helps...
