GeoGebra Commands & Parameters

  1. CurveCartesian(Gx((2 * π), v), Gy((2 * π), v), Gz((2 * π), v), v, 0, 6.28319) → Circle_{u=2pi}
  2. Sequence(CurveCartesian[Gx(u, v), Gy(u, v), Gz(u, v), v, 0, 6.28319], u, 0, 6.28319, π / ((N * 6))) → Circles_u
  3. Sequence(CurveCartesian[Gx(u, v), Gy(u, v), Gz(u, v), u, 0, 6.28319], v, 0, 6.28319, π / N) → Spirals_v
  4. Surface(Gx(u, v), Gy(u, v), Gz(u, v) + 0.0001, u, 0, 6.2831, v, 0, 6.2831) → Gperi2
  5. Surface(Gx(u, v), Gy(u, v), Gz(u, v), u, 0, 6.28315, v, 0, 6.2832) → Gperi1

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Create a 3D spiral shell shape using parametric equations and solid geometry. Start by drawing a circle with a radius of 2π, then generate multiple concentric circles around it, followed by spirals inside the circle. Finally, combine the spirals and circles to form the surface of the 3D spiral shell.
