Tutorial needed?
-
I thought that Jim Foltz and a few others had done something similar with modeling screw threads. It was a few years back? Maybe some of the same principles apply.
-
There have been tutorials on drawing screw threads before but perhaps not here on SCF. I have used a modification the tutorial I'm thinking of to draw screws and bolts with adjustable length and head type
I'd still like to see what your method it.
-
roughly it involves the use of 2 plugins: 'drawhelix14' and 'followmeandkeep' along with some boolean operations.
-
You should go ahead and make the tutorial and post it. That's different than the ways I do them. I have two depending upon the kind of threads.
-
What do you mean by 'kind of threats'?
-
Not "threats", threads. I do something different for machine threads as compared to those for woodcrews.
-
Ah I see, I'm only into the machine threads right now.. I'm planning to use them in a model
that will be 3D-printed.. -
Let's see what you've got then.
-
I'll post it as soon as finished.
