im using 3ds max 8 why is there no interpolation for the helix spline anymore i cant adjust the amount of segments and vertices. i really need to create a quick spiral but than edit it alittle but when i convert it to editable spline im left with hundreds of vertices i remember from older versions of Max i had more control over this spline object, what happen now i find myself creating a spiral from scratch and its a real pain in the ass.

With the exception of the Renderable options added in R4 (I think) and the defaulting of the Segments to Curve around R6 or 7 (they used to default to Line), there has not been any changes to this shape primative. Use the Normalize Spline modifier to control the number of line knots.
