      Hello!
      I tried to make a bolt m6 by sketchup 2019 many times. Only used native tools.
      When i tried to draw with a big bolt, it seemed successful.
      But when i tried draw a m6 (6mm) bolt. After i click explode it appeared something like the photo. Can anyone tell me why?
      And is there anyway to make a bolt (screw) better?
      Thank's

        It looks like you are running up against the tiny face limitation in SketchUp. Instead of trying to draw it at 6mm in diameter, set units to meters and draw it so it is 6m in diameter. Then scale the model down after you are finished.

        These are 4mm bolts which I modeled that way.

        These are 6mm shoulder screws also modeled with the same method.
