Cosmetic Bolt Threads
Cosmetic Bolt Threads
(OP)
Hi,
Im looking to split the surfaces of a bolt to seperate the shank and the threaded portion of the bolt. With two surfaces I can add an appearance of a thread to the end farthest from the bolt head. I tried creating a plane offset from the tip of the bolt and then sketched a circle as the projection for splitting but that resulted in the following:
"The projected sketch does not split the selected face"
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom

Use the Split Line tool with the Intersection option, and select the plane and shank surface. A sketch is not required.
