I want to have a helix with a theta angle. I do not know how to do it. can anyone help me, please?

I did it (in solidworks) by projecting a sketch onto a skewed cylindrical surface and using those curves to drive the sweep of one cycle of the tilted coil, and then pattern/combine the single coil to make the overall length. Probably cooler ways to do it, but this seemed to do a good job in relatively few features.
