I must have watched half a dozen external thread videos & failed every time except this time. Nice clear instructions :) I'm using FreeCAD 0.20.. Thank you.

7:50 I got an Input Error: Path must not be a null shape. Everything looks like what you have/did.

Same here

Thank you for the video and subscribed. Your narration and instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Can you create a tutorial as how to create a hollow cylindrical Stevenson screen enclosure (with vertically stacked horizontal louvers) for a DIY weather station.

[@prettyflowers9956]

Nice, clear. There can be odd glitches like you say depending on the helix and triangle position.

[@rolfmissing4554]

Great instruction !. Many instructions are a mess doing different steps always using shape binder that is clearly not required. Seems like there are differences in process even in the 0.19 version scope. For example I do not get display issue You demonstrated..

[@The.psmith]

Not quite sure why this video is so buried, good job!

[@CSWeldFab]

Thank you very much. Followed your clear and concise tutorial, and made a 5/16-24 (with help from the "Machinery's Handbook" for the meaty pitch and thread depth info.)

[@kaisorge1412]

Thank you for the clear, straight forward demonstration.

I have one question. Both the bolt size and nut size in the videos I have watched is the same exact diameter. Isn't there supposed to be a bit of clearance? That is confusing me.

[@KevinKimmich44024]

Thanks for the instructions. Very interesting.

[@fooballers7883]

u need to use external geometry... to get the position right... u can t guess it to be in the right place.

[@lauriehartley9808]

Excellent - how about some more “how to” videos?

[@iFix43]

HELPED ME A LOT

[@loubunk977]

My FreeCad is version 0.18 … still can't figure out why it turns white at the end...

[@amaccoy]

4:40 For me it pops up "Dimensional constraint Cannot set the datum because the sketch contains conflicting constraints"

[@tomriley6393]

I just found your video so I am going to try your technique and let you know the results. What version of Freecad are you using?

[@loubunk977]

FreeCad .18

[@BTom16]

Brilliant. Thank you.

[@MrAnatoliyBoyko]

Thank you, Excellent

[@ieduardoms]

Great, thank you so much.

[@Cubing_With_Sanjay]

Sir my helix is at a 90 degree angle to the body, how can I correct it

[@noneya574]

Click on helix in your part tree, there is a bar called placement that lets you move the helix around in any axis or rotate the angle. Need to switch to wire view to see what your doing with it.

[@dftdbs1010]

This is crap. I could never get threads to work like that. If you want to make threads easy then get the "Fasteners Workbench". Can make any screw, bolt, washer etc you can imagine, THREE MEASUREMENTS, TWO CLICKS THATS IT. Not only that but you can make a "Tap" cylinder and thread it VERY EASILY (also one click), to inbed threads inside a tube using the "Part workbench" "cut" tool.

[@ChrisPopham]

what's that in metric? lol

[@tomriley6393]

I was successful. No funny color.

[@dallaszkorben]

Thank a lot
