But here’s a version of the demo which is done with a proper metric thread profile (a 36x4 male thread):

I have added some notes to the grasshopper file:

[helical thread demo v2.gh](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/mcneel/uploads/default/original/3X/0/0/00a3ef7d6503d31e14933d862108f402480b5361.gh) (40.9 KB)

But I’d stress that this is just a demo of how sweep2 can work OK in grasshopper for this. It isn’t a tool for generating threads (although it could be a starting point for one).
