Hourglass Spring

Pretty rich tutorial which uses 3 different solidworks functions to model an Hourglass Spring. First I start by creating 3 profiles and use the Lofted Boss/Base tool to create an hourglass shape. Second tool is the Surface sweep found in the Input panel. Then using the Intersection curve we get the desired path.
