Is it possible to form a helix on a non straight cylinder?

Hi all,

I am trying to make a hose with a 3d fit spline, so it curves in all 3 dimensions. Now I am trying to add a helix to the outside to create a sweep path for an external profile.

The helix tool does not allow this, is there a way to make it work and how?

UPDATE, I found 3d spiral feature script, works a treat.
