Threading a part?...
-
Hello everyone. I am brand new to SketchUp Pro 8 and I am new to posting on the forum.
I am trying to thread holes in a part and cannot for the life of me, find information on how to do this! Can someone help me? I must not be using the Search function correctly? 
Thanks in advance!

If I may, I'll pass on something that works well for me. I have broken down the threads into a small component. that is then copied multiple times. That way I can reuse the threaded section and easily adjust its length.
This wood screw was drawn to be 2" long but I can quickly change it to be any length I need. The threads are separate from the rest of the screw and the threads are made up of multiple instances of the same component. I can add or subtract instances as need to make the length adjustment.
I did the same sort of thing for the threads on this pipe clamp. I can then make an acme threaded screw any length I wish.
Edited to add this image. I was looking for it earlier to add as a reference and couldn't find it.
The round head screw was made in a few moments from the flat head screw and the T-bolt was made from the hex head cap screw on the far right.
