Tapped hole in a solid

[Candicane]

Hi,

when creating a solid model in 2021 is it possible to somehow create a tapped hole  in your model showing the threads?

Thanks

not automatically,  could revolve a solid on a helix. but IMHO importing a screw from McMaster align to your minor and boolean remove it is waaay faster.

As Cementhead points out, yes, it is possible.

Be aware however that threads add a lot of relative weight to the solid. Fine if you have one or 2 but a bunch might slow you down.

Hasn't stopped most engineers I get models from. I will spend time stripping those threads out of file to make them more manageable.

I have a small library of threads geometry that I have to import and revolve the thread to get mostly what I need. And is not as computer intensive as a proper threaded model.

Thanks all for the replies!
