# Helix

> **Note:** **What is it about?**
>
> This page documents the **Helix node primitive** of the Scene Nodes system in **Cinema 4D**. It generates spiral splines with adjustable radii and pitch — the procedural path for springs, threads and coils.

This Node creates a helix — a spiraled, spring-like spline.
