Step 04
Repeat the process for the remaining hex head types. Note that the slotted head (Red Outline) has different top and bottom views. Also note that the other head types can use the bottom view you just created. Use the appropriate view for the thread representations. Carefully combine (Ctrl+L) each thread and head set individually. Chasing extra objects later can be tedious. Set all of the hex headed machine bolts (48) aside.
Step 05

The next set requires smaller thread sets. Change the width to 4.75-inch using the property bar with the lock on. Duplicate the reduced thread sets and move off to the side.

Step 06
To create the round head heads use the process below:
  • Duplicate the various heads and align it to the top or bottom of the threads as shown.
  • Center each head on the threads.
  • Once everything is positioned marquee select sets of components and combine (Ctrl+L) them and then break apart (Ctrl+K) the result. Repeat the process until everything is broken apart.
  • Use the Shaping Docker to Trim the unneeded segments as shown. Be sure to delete any overlapping unneeded segments.
  • Re-combine (Ctrl+L) each thread and head set individually. Note: Only one set is shown for clarity. You must go through the entire process for each thread set and head combination. Creates 32 round head machine screws.
