Modeling a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Helix type blades in SketchUp

I was just finishing a version using upright extruder to make the airfoil shape. First follow Box’s excellent gif about making a helix which just came up: Drawing a helix. no extensions - #2 by Box

Then make the airfoil cross section flat on the ground and upright extrude it up a helical path.
