modeling thread
(OP)
Does anyone know of a good way to accurately depict the beginning of an internal thread using Pro Engineer wildfire 2.0? I have created a helical sweep but the end of the thread isn't exactly how it would appear. See attatched photo.

My guess is you haven't carried the sweep far enough to get to the top surface.

In order to show the thread using one feature, it will need to be a cut. It seems you have created it as a solid/boss. In order to transition it properly, create an extrusion or revolution at the desired point to cut the threaded portion. This may involve extending the threaded portion above where it is currently placed and cut it.
I hope this has been helpful.
