Parameters

basePoint  XYZ

Base point of the axis. It can be any point in 3d.

radius  Double

Radius. It should be a positive number.

xVector  XYZ

X vector. Should be Non-zero vector.

zVector  XYZ

Z vector = axis direction. Should be non-zero and orthogonal to X Vector.

pitch  Double

Pitch. It should be non-zero number, can be positive or negative. Positive means right handed and negative means left handed.

startAngle  Double

Start angle. It specifies the start point of the Helix.

endAngle  Double

End angle. It specifies the end point of the Helix. End angle should not be equal to start angle.
