Thread cutting script - WIP

Hi Michael,

it would be handy in a situation like this where profile, rail and sweep are generated cleanly by script and the Boolean Diff still doesn't work because the sweep profile is intersecting or touching over a larger area. I could then use the cutter profile below for example which just doesn't boolean diff when sweeped because its touching over a larger area I guess. If I could "bake" this sweeped cutting object into one firm solid it would work in the Boolean Diff operation.



I updated the script from yesterday. It now corrects the thread length slightly to allow full turns so it produces correct results for any settings.
