Spiral Shape Tool for Designer


Recommended Posts

I was thinking on that just yesterday. I ain't complaining since Designer already has more than a reasonable amount of shape presets, pretty much on steroids, but I thought a Bolt Tool and Swirl Tool (spiral) would make good additions.

The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready. Feel free to connect with me and let me know what you like or what can be improved. You can contact me here, on my contact page, YouTube channel, or Twitter account. Thanks and have a great day!

When you say Bolt Tool, I'm guessing you mean a tool that makes 3D spirals like the thread on a bolt (as opposed to flat spirals like the OP's example). Both of these would be good, but if a single tool were flexible enough we could create a screw thread that tapers towards the top and then rotate the view to turn it into a flat spiral.

Not quite. Although my response was to a spiral shape, I mentioned a bolt tool as a side note as something on the lines of a lightning bolt. That was more of something I was thinking on the side.

 

Anyhow, since this topic is on spirals, I think the idea of it appearing as a smart shape would come in handy because of the customization we could have. Imagine having a slider that would adjust how many loops go around and adjusts the space between them. The loops could range from say 4 to 20.

Something like this would be nice:

Oh neat. You have quite a lot of control with its functions.
