Hi Frederick,

re:

I used it on your existing thread but basically resetting it using Edit > Separate to break it into individual surfaces, then selecting all edges and hitting Delete to do an "untrim" and recover the full underlying surfaces.

Then I used FlowExtendSrf on each individual thread surface.

You're getting a bunch of pieces extended there including the cylinders and cylinder end caps which don't need it. If you break it into surfaces using Edit > Separate you can be more selective for which pieces to extend.

Try this one:

script: /* Reset current view */ var vp = moi.ui.getActiveViewport(); if ( vp ) { vp.reset(); }
