+Lastly change the Vertical Separation to 2.5 inches. The number of Turns will change to 4 and the grade increase to almost 3 percent.
Note: the Vertical Separation will be increased. This value is the Elevation Difference (12.0) divided by the total number of turns. The total number of turns is 4.25: 4 whole Turns plus a quarter turn for the Angular Separation.

+We have set the elevations to 1 inch and 13 inches to produce a grade of 3.0 percent with 2.8 inches between coils.
You can use the <Describe> command to change the number of Turns or the Elevations at either end of the Helix. This will affect the Grade and Vertical Separation.
