nuts n bolts

hi everyone
i am trying to find the best way to draw precision nuts n bolts where can i find the best addon + tut
thanks

There is an AddOn for this.

Activate the Addon: File->“UserPreferences” -> AddOns -> AddMesh" -> AddMesh:BoltFactory
Under Add -> Mesh you will find “Bolt” as a new object to add.

Since some versions there is a small glitch in this AddOn. The “Minor Diameter” is set to 0 for all Presets. You have to set the correct diameter there.

cheers heaps cons i’ll add it n learn that one :slight_smile:

hi everyone
sorry for reopening a old thread
but has anyone done a good tut on boltfactory? I can’t find one
thanks :slight_smile:

This is not exactly what you’re looking for guy but something to keep in mind. And, also Oliver seems to inject a little humor into his tutorials. I also like to play with the BoltFactory occasionally and a plane. Sorry this is the only one I could remember.

In attempting to find that tutorial I came across this. Hopefully there is one in here to your liking.
