Thank you so much! This is exactly what I was looking for! Is it possible to use a circular pattern if I want to have offset spirals (every 90 degrees). Thank you!
Because the shape is only symmetrical about one plane, I think you'd have to make one more, starting 90 degrees off. Then pattern the two sweeps 180 degrees. Here is the first one patterned 180 degrees.
