extrude and rotate at the same time

[hotrodd]

Not sure how to explain this. I draw a sketch.
Then I want to extrude it.

But I also want to TWIST the part as I extrude it
to the the oposite end is rotated from the start
about 120 degrees.

How do I do this?????? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like a spiral ?

Or a loft ?

or sweep?

I have lofted a square below, then shelled it.

Run the Visual Help file then if you can't do it I'll record a video for you.
You really need to know about Workplanes or the xy,yz planes.
