3D Nuts & Bolts

I need some 3D nuts, bolts, and washers. Does anyone know of any .gsm parts like this?


This is not good enough. I want threads.



Can anyone tell me it this is a GDL script ?

Steve,

No it is not.

I think the GDL Cook Book has a 3D bolt script in it. However, I haven't looked at it in a long time.

Yep the cookbook has a script for this. In fact, I recently made a parametric bolt, nut and washer combo based on standard sizes. If someone will remind me on Monday, I'll post it.

Steve,


Ask them to open the code so you can add in the sizes you need.

Should have been fully parametric in the first place.

I could probably take this back to AC12, but not AC10. Your standards in Brazil are probably different anyway.
