Creating Spiral Hyperboloid Ramp

Hi,

I am having trouble with creating a spiral hyperboloid ramp in sketchup.

I drew the spiral line then tried to use the follow me tool but it is tilting the ramp as it goes around which is wrong. (see image)

Does anyone know how to keep the ramp flat as it bends round and follows the curve/hyperboloid shape ?

Many thanks.

That’s worked, thank you!

When you rotate an object around 2 axes like when you are following a spiral, the object has to also rotate around the 3rd axis since each axis is perpendicular to the other two.
