A user asked about how to do a helical sweep where the swept profile scales as it moves up the helix. This is the method I have used for a while, and I also would like to highlight the work of Bugman who already has similar work. Here are some of Bugmans videos:

Bugman has great work, be sure to like and subscribe.

In this video, I show a technique to have a body from the part workbench implemented into part design. More detail on that here (Same idea, different lengths):
