Should be 'simple' compared to that instant building plugin, right?

there are fairly straight forward without a plugin so maybe it wouldn't be to hard?
what ever happened to the building tsx?

Sorry, no TSX for this but there is a tut in the manual.... Heidi posted a video on the Califorums some time ago to show the technique for making threads .... you can find it here .... http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/s ... rial+screw

hth

I'm wanting to make some flat/socket head machine screws to exact specs of real ones.

I found some already made, but they're not free models.

What kind of specs..... post it here maybe we can suggest something better....

Screws like these. http://www.fairburyfastener.com/xdims_shcs_flat.htm"

A plugin to pop these out on demand would be very cool. Give it the thread and head specs, metric or standard, length, and *ping* there's a virtual screw.

Easier than having a pile of individual, ready made models. That'd be just like the wall cabinets I have full of real hardware, always have every type except exactly the one I need *now*.

Go wild and include options for thread angle and those weird old British Association, British Standard Cycle and other threads. May as well do Whitworth types too.

Could this python script can be converted to be used in truespace? It's GPL.

Hope this may help.

truespace Model side uses python scripting. So that may help.
