Hi Guy, coiled objects like your screw thread here can be difficult due to the underlying surfaces overlapping each other from one coil to the next.

Try with the attached version, I split your thread object into 4 quadrants using Edit > Trim and then used ShrinkTrimmedSrf on it.

Thanks Michael,

Why did you have to split the thread into object into 4 quadrants?

Hi Guy,

re:

Because that removes the condition that is failing which has something to do with having underlying surfaces that overlap each other.

Hi Guy,

Another trick is to scale everything so that the size of the threaded object is around 50 units (rather than 6 mm), do the boolean, and then scale it back down.

Ahh that's easier, thank you.
