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 ;)
