Step 09
To create the flat heads use the process below:
  • This set requires smaller thread sets. Locate the 4.146-inch width thread set, duplicate, and move off to the side.
  • Duplicate the various head 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 flat head machine screws.
Step 10
Creating the sheet metal screws.
Dupe and resize the threads of the sheet metal screws (8 threads, threaded all the way up) according to the table below:
  • Hex = 4.125 inches wide
  • Round = 4.50 inches wide
  • Cap = 4.125 inches wide
  • Pan = 4.375 inches wide
  • Flat = 4.146 inches wide

Then use the procedure outlined below for each head:

  • 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 92 screws.
