Twisted bar can be purchased by the metre or as finished pieces. To model such a model, it is best to use the sweep tool, which causes a 2D profile to follow a guide curve. With the Sweep Options settings, you can also rotate the 2D profile a certain number of turns along the guide curve.

Watch this video explaining how to do it, which also includes some useful little tips and tricks.

Here you can download the IRONCAD model. (Saved with v2022 PU1).
