modelling a threaded bolt

[medula]

whats the best way to model a bolt which has had a thread machined into it??? have a clue on how to start it so any help would be great.



thanks

Use both the spiral spline and a circle and toss them both into the "sweep NURBS" tool. Adust the ispoarms as neeeded. and try to keep the geoemtry (mesh) as light as possible.

Try TCAStudio's 006Model a Bolt (http://homepage.mac.com/tcastudios/TCA%20CINEMA.html)

Neat video tutorial, with a twist. :p

Cheers, Al.
