Dave - Thanks for the heads up about the search. I have used it in other forums and it didn't come to mind in this one. Unfortunately, I must start over because I was using radius instead of diameter for my measurements. DOH!

You know the scale tool? You can scale a 3D object along 2 axes...

Yeah, I had some other errors so I decided to start over.

Thank you for the videos. I actually used the "screw 1_5" plugin. It worked very well.

I may be wrong, but it looks like you have the faces reversed. The grayblue ones should be on the inside.

Yeah, good catch. That is how the plugin makes it. I caught it right after I submitted it.

I think I got the hang of it. What do you think?

Looks pretty good.

If you are going for close up detail from what the picture shows it is just faces made onto the cylinder? ( ) that could bring your model down when it comes to render.

Try playing around with different types like this...

Notice how the one raised thread is continuous from top to bottom.

Scott.

Raff - I do not exactly know what you are referring to. The threading was not created on the face. It was made using a plugin. Here are two pictures of them close up. The first one is external threading, and the second is the internal threading.
