Cut threads

[vladdavostock]

Started working with 3d recently.Working on a tutorial called cut threads i am having a problem finding a tool called the intersection tool to derive the intersection between two solids so i can cut a chamfer on the nut, also nut is shown with chamfer on the inside hole where threading goes . Can you possibly be of help .Thank you for your time.

Type INTERSECT for the intersection function.

Create a cylinder with od to match the internal chamfer. Chamfer the end of the cylinder then subtract the chamfered cylinder from the nut.

Solidedit>Intersect returns intersecting volume of a cone and hex. (the harder alternative is Revolve and Subtract)

Chamfer for hole chamfer. (no need to create cylinder, chamfer, subtract - you can chamfer solids directly, of course you should see why this works for hole and not for hex)

Thank you J Mather, do you ever put out video tutorials.

Good tutorial.

With the newer tools can you correctly apply the internal chamfer after threading the nut?

Thank you very much for the help
