Now I want to 3D print threaded parts.Usually I relax the fit by a couple of percent by anisotropic scaling (in X and Y but not Z). Haven’t figured out a way to do that in Shapr3D.

3D models often have no allowance for fit.

I have the same issue currently.

Here is a good hack for you @drifkind : [Threads](https://discourse.shapr3d.com/t/threads/7209)

I brought back an old discussion about scaling on 1 or 2 dimensions: [Scale only along x, y, or z?](https://discourse.shapr3d.com/t/scale-only-along-x-y-or-z/86/10)

@Victor_Shapr3D Any official guidance or product roadmap on how to deal with threads would be fabulous.
