  • $\begingroup$ Hi lemon. Thank you for your response! What a great approach! I am impressed by how your math node setup - the rotation between the unwound portion and the wound portions are seamless! The instances are now tangent aligned. Is there a way to align the instances such that the Y or Z axis face inwards - like in the first image in my post? I would want one of the axes to form the inner "rungs." In my first image, the Z axes are connected inwards and the X axes are also connected to each other but perpendicular to the Z axes. Thank you so much for your help! $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 16, 2024 at 10:19
  • $\begingroup$ @IvanPerez, I've updated the end of the answer. Does that respond about the axis aspects you ask just above? $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 16, 2024 at 17:11
  • $\begingroup$ Or do you mean that for instance Y of one helix points to the other helix? $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 16, 2024 at 17:39
