  2. Under: "Sculpt, Primitives, Gear, Relative Hole Radius" WTH ?

    in General 3DCoat

    Posted · Edited by CTMachinerySystems

    I just simply need to set the (Actual Inner Hole Radius) to 1.165mm to fit a shaft for a friction fit. However when I specify this, it inverts the gear into an inner ring gear, not good.

    Must be a simple equation to convert (Relative Hole Radius) into (Actual Inside Hole Radius)? I am lost here...

    I searched everywhere... Can anyone please explain this?

    Thanks...

  7. [Solved] Reverse Threading

    in General 3DCoat

    This is my first stumble in 3DCoat and I've done some impressively innovative things with it... I am not certain how threading is embedded to a primitive object, voxels or parametric? This maybe a coding technicality / resolution; in order to reverse the tighten down direction, a coded applet parameter would be required, if not already available; I do not see it? So to simply invert as said by stusutcliffe; it would seem to work, but further was said by philnolan3d; true, a nut is a nut no matter the flipside. So one has to invert the direction of the cut threads in order to get reverse action... This would be a great feature addition; then fasteners will not loosen under certain rotational applications. I don't want to leave this great software environment over a minor engineering technicality; Fusion360 is not as productive / intuitive for my taste. Thanks All... let me know if I have missed a crucial feature or widget here? Thanks...

  8. [Solved] Reverse Threading

    Hello thanks for the response. So instead of the more common Right Hand threads, I simply need to specify Left Hand Reverse Threads on either a Bolt or in this case a Nut. Maybe if could somehow invert the Reset Posi function at bottom left within the thread properties? Any insight as to how to invert the direction of threading? Thanks!
