Hi,
I've created a macro which builds a helix from sections of tori. By
specifying the end points, the major and minor radii and number of
turns, it will spit out a coil. Bug-free or your money back.
You can check it out here:

Yeah, hopefully somebody will find a use for it. A helix made of tori
seems easy, but it was harder to code than I had initially suspected. I
don't actually need a helix for my current project, not that I know of
anyway. My next macro won't be so easy. It has the potential of becoming
a coding nightmare :( After it's done (if I finish it), I can finally
resume work on the scene that spawned these distractions ;)

Sure. I'd like to know about any bugs, if you should happen to find any.
