🆕 #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

Don't forget to follow the #FreeCAD tag (you can "pin" it to your mastodon page), as many FreeCAD community members are posting quite interesting things there!
#FreeCAD 0.18's Part workbench gets new "Explode compound" and "Slice apart" commands.
We know, we're supposed to be in feature freeze, but we couldn't stop ourselves! Thanks to DeepSOIC for these additions!
We feel a great disturbance in the force... The #FreeCAD community is massively coming to Mastodon...
Hello, world (and #FreeCAD community)!
