   We have to choose the option: Twist Along Path.
   Define turn number, and valid
   

   

4. Step 4:

   In order to get the profil, we have to use the sketch tool: Intersection Curve
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Select your 2 surface bodies, and valid
   

   

6. Step 6:

   You can hide surface bodies
   

   

7. Step 7:
