Hey Michael,

When I sweep the thread profile along the helix, I notice the profile of the thread seems to change as it goes down the z axis:



No idea why it does this and how to resolve it?

Many thanks!
Gunter

Hi Gunter, you need to set the "Twist = Flat" option in the sweep options:

Hi Gunter
If you copy your spiral rail downwards so there are 2 and do a 2 rail sweep of the thread profile.
This will stop it from deforming



cheers
