    This feature is really great - thanks a lot!

    As the comment above, I would like to model pipe threads (NPT, BSP) too. Is there a chance you can add these to your feature, or is there perhaps an other feature for pipe threads?

    I am trying to use ThreadLab for Internal threads, but it seems like it only "adds" threads to the hole. How can I get it to CUT threads? Thank you!!

    Fantastic work on this feature, B)
    Thank you so much for putting it out for everyone!

    One useful future feature would be the ability to set specific/offset the starting rotational position of modelled threads.

    Thanks for an amazing feature! 

    But i was having an issue when trying to create an 50mm internal thread

    LH thread worked fine, but not the RH thread. thought i would let you know.
    I was able to make it anyway by mirroring the part.

    This looks nice. But how do I use it? I'm not a programmer and I can't find a tutorial anywhere on what to do with the source code. :-(

    Here's a vid from their Youtube channel. I've been meaning to sit down and try some of this stuff for a while.

    I'm not sure if this is the place to mention it, but would there be a way to add the chamfer after the threads? The chamfer on a threaded stud works as it's implemented in a real world fastener or turned workpiece, but a threaded hole seems to add the threads after the chamfer, leaving a squared off thread start.



    I like to print threads and usually have to add a feature to make sure it actually gives you the taper on the thread start. It's something that's usually handled perfectly well with a note in most cases as it's something a machinist would do as a finishing step. If you're modeling the actual threads there's usually a reason though, and it's something I just prefer to have in my parts.

    antlu65  Great work, I'm going to use this. But here is something you might want to consider adding for us that use metal 3d threads.
    Both rolled threads and die cut threads have about 2 imperfect threads where the threads end at their full depth. One more revolve, at the base of the threads give a realistic look ( I've found that 2 times the pitch seems to give about the right amount of " tail-out " ).

    Is ThreadLab development dead? I would love to see the error on the hole callout resolved.
