""""""""What's bugging me is I can't remember if it generated the full bolt or just the threads. I think i can remember that you had to select if it was internal cut too""""""""""

Hey Martin,
it "IS" the script by martin3d.. You are in that thread discussion also....

Both have "pull downs" for some of the sizes martin3d needed... Max smirnov had made an updated version of one, the hex rod...

The makethread script will make a full thread tapered out at the top to a cylinder....

The hex rod script will make the head for a bolt, of some type of dimension, which can be attached to the thread you made. It is also used for "nuts", to then be used in conjunction with the "MakeThreadTap" script, which will make an object to cut out the nut, or cut screw holes on objects....

The one link I posted will have links to the 3....
