Radius: Defines the inner and outer radius of the spiral.

Rotations: Defines the number of rotations on the inner or outer circle of the spiral.

NumOuterSeg: Defines the number of segments of the outer circle. This proportion is taken as for the whole spiral.

Clockwise: Defines the orientation of the convolution.

Start from Outer: Defines the start point of the polyline.

Set Return Path: If checked a return path is added and the spiral ends at its start point.

Use NumSeg for every rot.: If checked the value for the NumSeg is used for every rotation.

Statistic:

Length: Length of the polyline.

Num Points: Number of points on the polyline.
