Interface
Rendering and Interpolation rollouts
Most spline-based shapes share these parameters.
For details, see the related sections on 3ds Max help: Rendering rollout and Interpolation rollout
Creation Method rollout
The Curlipse shape offers the standard creation-method choice: Center or Edge
Keyboard Entry rollout
Creates a Curlipse spline from the keyboard
Parameters rollout
Once you have created a Curlipse, you can make changes using the following parameters:
Length
The size along the local Y axis.
Width
The size along the local X axis.
Height
Specifies the height of the Curlipse
Outline. Thickness. Close
Turn on Outline to allow to specify Thickness
The Close option allows making closed spline

Expansion: -1
Points
Specifies the number of points to on the Curlipse
Turns
Specifies the number of turns the Curlipse makes between its start and end points
CW/CCW
The direction buttons set whether the Helix turns clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW).
Bezier/Corner
Specifies the type of vertices

Curlipse is very easy to learn, and very handy to use to generate smooth helixes. Thanks!
