Help with threads
Hello, I am trying to model a stud to test on my car. I want the stud to be 12x1.75mm, but I cant get the threads to start and end at the correct space.

Below is an example of what I'm trying to make, but I am making mine 56mm in total length.

I'm not sure what this means exactly, but you can use the split tool to divide your part along its length — for example:
You could also split the curve into multiple curves before sweeping the thread profile in order to maintain the profile at the curve termination points. I hope that helps you think about how to move forward.
