Coil modifier options

Use this modifier to coil a spline primitive around the groomed curve as if it were an axis. You can specify the number of coils per-unit length as well as the radius of the coil and an amount to scale that radius as a function of parametric distance along the curve.

Mask

Lets you control how the modifier affects primitives in specified areas of the surface. For example, use Mask to load or an expressions or create a Ptex map that masks out the effect of the modifier.

Count

Sets the number of coils. This value is the product of multiplying Length and a frequency value.

Count Scale

Lets you scale the Count at each point along the curve.

Radius

Sets the radius at the base of the curve.

Radius Scale

Lets you scale the Radius at each point along the curve.
