Hi I was wondering if there is any short cut or fast way to model a spring in 3ds max... is there any tools in 3ds max that can bend a long thin cylinder?

If i'm not mistaken, there is a spring primitive already in max.

They have it in max 8? I checked both the standard and extended primitives and I didn't see one.

It's a shape object.
Search the help files for 'Helix'.
