How to cut out a series of Helix to form channels?
I drew a couple of helix (I need 6 of them actually) that spans from the bottom of the plate to the top. I need to sweep those helixes such that they form channels that allow a fluid to flow through them. However, I tried sweeping, the preview shows me a complete sweep, but what comes out is a partial sweep. Can someone help me out on this?

You can use Helix with the taper option to get the same effect.
