Need help with tapering a thread


Hello, fairly new to Shapr3D and in need some help if someone is able to give me some pointers. I am trying to taper the tops of the thread to be inline with the tapered top of the bolt as seen in the photos. I am not sure what would be the best way to remove the parts of the thread to make the tapper match the bolt top.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Lewis,
Try this:

  • Select the top conical face of the bolt
  • Select the Split Body command (in the ellipsis menu)
  • Select the threaded bolt
  • Click Done
  • Select and Delete the top portion of the thread

Spot on, thank you for the help

You’re welcome, glad I could help! (And I agree about botany. Haha)
