--A MACRO TO DRAW A SPIRAL STAIR
-- BY REZA RAMAZANI-REND
-- r.ramazani@gmail.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------
--I will be more than glad to hear about:
-- Your opinion about the macro
-- The changes you made to suit this macro for your requirements
-- What will make this macro more useful
-----------------------------------------------------------------
----CE MUST BE THE TANK EQUI
---- THIS TANK MUST HAVE A NAME, HAVING UNSET NAME WILL
---- RESULT IN AN ERROR.
---- THE CODE ASSUMES THAT THE TANK FOUNDATION BOTTOM IS ON U 0
---- AND ITS CENTER IS ON E 0 N 0 (BOTH WRT THE EQUI COORDINATES)
---- IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE MOVE THE ORIGIN OF THE EQUIPMENT
---- TO THE LOWER PPOINT OF THE TANK FOUNDATION.
---- BY THE WAY THE MACRO ALSO DRAWS A GUARD-RAIL ON TOP OF THE
---- TANK :-). IF YOU DO NOT REQUIRE THIS GUARD-RAIL, DELETE THE
---- GUARD-RAIL SUB-EQUIPMENT.
