Wrapping a spiral around an organic form

Hi all...

I am trying to wrap a spiral form around an organic shape tower, so as to get the effect in the attached image.

I generated the spiral by using a "series" component to generate points, then using sin and cos to spiral them, and connected them with an interpolated curve, then piped the curve to get the spiral form. So I got my spiral, and got my organic twisted tower form. To wrap the spiral around it, I used Srf Morph component, but got an awckward result as GH considered the whole spiral form as one element, and wrapped it around the form!. What I want is to get the spiral to follow the U Insocurves of the tower surface.

Any idea how to do it better?

Many thanks

Hi DeDAckel;

Can I use the center of the diagrid on this organic form to morph an object on it. I am trying to get the center of an object to morph into the center of the diagrid, while the boundary of each diagrid cell to be the bounding box for the morphed object.

I tried to rotate the U V of the surface to try to get a rotated SurfaceBox but with no luck...

Is that possible at all?

Thanks
