🆕 #freecad #feature added today:
"In this PR I want to add a new input mode to Helix. "Height-Turns-Growth". Motivation for this is that another PR by Chris_G that allows Helices and spirals to be created with the same underlying command."
"With this functionality the Helix tool is a perfect generalization of the revolution tool. And can be used to make as well revolutions, helices and flat spirals. "
Props to davidosterberg and Chris_G
