Jon,
I am using V8i version 08.11.09.459
I am accessing the API through .NET linked to Mathematica so my code wouldn't be of much use to most, but here is a modification of the relevant parts of the "Flattening Elements" example for Helix in the VBA docs that resembles how I am using it:
startPt = Point3dFromXYZ(1, 0, 0) axis = Segment3dFromXYZXYZStartEnd(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1) oBsplineCurve.Helix 1, 1, startPt, axis, 1, False Set oElement = CreateBsplineCurveElement1(Nothing, oBsplineCurve) oElement.color = 0 ActiveModelReference.AddElement oElement oElement.Redraw axis = Segment3dFromXYZXYZStartEnd(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.33333333333) oBsplineCurve.Helix 1, 1, startPt, axis, 1, False Set oElement = CreateBsplineCurveElement1(Nothing, oBsplineCurve) oElement.color = 3 ActiveModelReference.AddElement oElement oElement.Redraw
