    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..
