Examples
// Create a helix around the Z axis.

})
// Create a spring by sweeping around the helix path.
springSketch = startSketchOn('YZ')
|> circle({ center = [0, 0], radius = 0.5 }, %)
|> sweep({ path = helixPath }, %)
// Create a helix around an edge.
helper001 = startSketchOn('XZ')
|> startProfileAt([0, 0], %)
|> line([0, 10], %, $edge001)
