Why does this not work...

Please see attached file. A small block with a thread in it. I want to trim the inside of the hole using the thread as the cutting tool but it will not work. Strangely though the thread can be cut by the blocks surface but not the other way round. Why is this?

Hi bigseb,
Your shapes are "open surfaces". There is not a cut that can be made by that open screw thread ..

Sort of. I want to trim B with A, then trim C with B.

In your model, the thread obeject is not joined properly. It has an open edge running as a spiral round the thread. If you redo the thread so that this doesn't happen, then slice of the ends with a trim, you can add planar ends to make a solid. This solid will then boolean from the block.
