Hi,
See at 3dfindit
Professional models to download. It’s free.

Joined the forum to request threading, I’ve had to download fusion 360 as Shapr3D can’t (yet?) perform this basic function, let alone other scripted actions. Is there an API users could access to implement the feature ourselves?
Hello,
Is this feature still into this year roadmap?
Greetings
Hi,
No features at this moment.
But you can create your own on this principle.

SO we keep hearing that a thread/hole tool is coming, but it’s been a while that Shapr3d has made this claim. When this tool finally comes out I want to know will there be other tools to compliment it in the 2d drawings as well because that is just as essential if not more than the modeling thread tool for the actual manufacturing side of things.

+1 for adding this feature. I am baffled this isn’t already included/released as it’s a major deficiency for almost any manufacturing process a part might be designed for.
The lack of this feature prevents me from being able to effectively use Shapr3D to produce any production-ready drawings as it’s impossible to appropriately denote a hole callout for a threaded hole series.
it’s also a huge workflow slog not having a proper hole tool and having to size, constrain then select sketch faces manually to extrude.

Any update on when this will be rolled out?
The first of never. At this point we the community would be better served if they gave us a programming interface to create tools and scripts on our own. Then we could help ourselves and each other. But it seems they are more interested in keeping us hostage and gaslighting us.
This is like the circle tool that you could only define with a radius. I poked at them and called out all their BS reasons until they finally allowed circles to be defined by a radius. We use circles as holes. Holes have a diameter. Why should I have to do math to create a circle when I’m in a modeling program running on a super computer?
Do a search on my user name if you are curious. Anyway, I’m pretty sure I’m done with Shapr3D as it has become something else than what it started out as and they seem to be marching to someone else’s drum than the community. They forced history based modeling on us and no one ever asked for it.
So I’ll give up the convenience of the iPad for a mature full featured solution. They really need to look at the history of CAD and what made certain programs successful. AutoCAD made it on being pirated and having command line and at least 3 languages to program and extend it with. The 2nd was more important than the first.
Yes, TinkerCAD has some really good features. Alignment of objects, for instance, is so easy!
It would be great to have this feature as that and generative design are the only reasons I boot up Fusion360 nowadays.
Alternatively - having ability to store and easily recall subassembly templates would provide a good workaround as I can just store a bunch of threads/hardware in there.

If you are talking about a thread for a screw, couldn’t you just import a model of the screw and subtract it?

Is there any update on the cosmetic thread feature in Shapr3D. I don’t need an actual modeled thread, but it would be really helpful if we could just show that a hole in the model is threaded.
I’m recommending Shapr3D to my company, but without this feature, it’s hard for manufacturers to tell the difference between a through hole and a threaded one.
Right now, manually creating a thread by subtracting a thread negative isn’t ideal because it messes with the hole center, making it harder to position properly. Plus, it makes the model heavier and harder to move around.

Hello, is there a new update? We will soon enter the year 2025 and creating a metric screw hole in a design will be really easy.
That’s exactly why I’m asking my friends if anyone uses licensed Fusion.
2025 checking in in a few days from now and still no Thread Generation? Like others have stated this is literally the only feature that has prevented me from using Shapr3d as my primary CAD tool. I would use my ipad and Shapr3d if it wasn’t for the fact that I have to export from Shapr3d into another CAD software on my PC to add threads. Some of us work in metal and not plastic so it would be extremely nice to produce a tapped model to have ready for CNC. Thanks for the hard work and keep up the great feature updates!
I use the maker version to add threads but its a nuisance to do so.
Coming soon? I’m entering the third year of my subscription…
When i try to model a 3/8” - 32 female thread one inch long using the Revolve tool:
Major diameter circle of 3/8” with an orthogonal central axis
1/32” equilateral triangle revolve profile sketch with 360 degree rotation
OK so far, edit rotation to 32*360
Then the model is f*cked
Well, it’s a bit late, but I’d like to wish you all a happy new year.
This topic feels like GTA6… we have all been waiting for this feature for two years
Now my question would be, when is this feature coming to Shapr?
I think I speak for the community when I say that this is almost one of the most important features for people who make drawings for manufacturing/prototyping, 3D printing etc. At the moment at least for me Shapr is just a nice sketching tool, but I think Shapr can be more than that.
Can anyone give us a timeframe for when this feature will come?
Thank you very much!
crazy that this still hasnt been done. fusion 360 has a super simple and easy to use threading function, but i cant stand fusion compared to shapr. im always jumping over to fusion to add threads. shapr sure is great, but its pathetic that this still hasnt been added after all of these years. have not been impressed with the dev team on getting this out.
Yeah I’ve been waiting for this feature for years.
I posted about this years ago.
They will NEVER do it.
So Fusion360 is my go to unless I don’t have internet access.
