Creating a Helix of Spiral Shapes with Memory Copy and Fredo Scale in SketchUp

In this SketchUp tutorial video, learn to combine the extensions FredoScale and Memory Copy to create helix made up of spiraling shapes!

You’ll start by modeling a shape, then we’ll rotate and scale it using memory copy. Once we’ve done this, we’ll make several copies of our object, then use FredoScale’s radial bend tool to bend our object in a circle that we can then repeat, creating a spiraling, repeating helix made up of a repeated object.
