Maybe it will be usefull:

==================================
#declare Helice = union      {
 #declare myCount = 0;

#while(myCount < 50)
 object  {
 Your_Object
  translate <0,myCount/1.2,0>
  rotate <0,myCount*9.5,0>
  }
#declare myCount = myCount + 1;
#end  };

object  { Helice }
object  { Helice rotate <0,90,0> translate <150, -60, 0>}
======================================

Best regards,
Oleguer
