I have to model this baluster for a model.  Does anyone know of a good way to do this?  I have been playing with trying to do a sweep or sweep blend but can't seem to get it right.  I can't get the sweep to go up and rotate.  The center piece is the really tricky part that I can't seem to get.  Any suggestions?

The center part is called a basket twist.

There was a post awhile back about modeling a DNA strand.  That would be similar to this basket twist. 

 

You can model the normal twist by creating a 1/4 twist family then place multiple copies of this in your balluster family rotating them accordingly.
