Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

If you watch the (great) Tornado tutorial - Mike makes a helix shape for making the Tornado.

I think he made an extrudsion of a nurbs shape and in inputs - he gave it a big angle (like 14000) each 360 degree adds another reolution to the helix
