Question

Describe the function of the Blender screw modifier. Explain how you believe this tool makes the job of creating 3D objects easier or more efficient.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The Screw modifier is similar to the Screw tool in the Toolbar, in that it takes a profile object, a mesh or a curve, to create a helix-like shape. The profile should be properly aligned to the cardinal direction of the object rather than to the screw axis.

The Screw modifier uses the local axis of an object as the direction in which it will create its spiral shape.
