I have a screw that I need to create the threading for. How do I make the threading an exact fit for the screw?

Go to McMaster-Carr, and find the screw your want. Download the step file, including threads, then add it to your current design in Shapr3D. Use the Align tool to place the screw where you want, then subtract the screw from your body.
