Pat Stanford Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Take a look at the Hole Tapped -3D options from the Detailing palette and then use that as part of a Solid Subtraction. Quote Link to comment

Pat Stanford Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Yes, It looks like it is not in the Fundamentals workspace. You could try to edit the workspace and see if you have access to the tool but it is just not included in the default workspace. Quote Link to comment
LarryO Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I'm a bit late to this discussion, but if you still are interested. A 3D nut also gives one a look a method into using a sweep to tap a hole with threads. If the Fastener tool exists in Fundamentals? Check on the show threads before ungrouping the plugin. The designer of this object used a two step approach for the hole so the detail level could be adjusted to show threads in hole, show hole or no internal detail. 1 Quote Link to comment
DickWVertechs Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Just create a bolt of the desired size and longer than the required hole depth, and select [show threads]. Move the resulting bolt to the appropriate location and orientation, and [subtract solids]. Of course this only works if the threaded hole depth is less than the threaded portion of the bolt. For deeper threaded holes, create another solid, like a block or cylinder, and subtract it from the bolt to leave only the threaded portion. Align two or more of the resulting threaded portions and add them to create a threaded rod. Quote Link to comment
