This is one of the MAJOR 'Keys to the Kingdom' for my 3d printing projects! It took less than 10 minutes to download, install, make the Inventor threads righteous and slice them. Uber-Thanks!
There is a "real" use for modelled thread, namely 3d printing. In normal CAM you don't need the modelled threads, but when you send a part to a 3d printer you'll need it :-)
love how I've used this modeling program for 4+ years and never knew this. thank you so much dude , so useful for 3d printing can't wait to see what tolerances I can get with this!!
What a fantastic tool. You explain it very well as always. Probably won't get used at work very much but I have had to produce real threads with Inventor a few times. The latest was a month ago. Luckily after being a CNC turner for 25 years I knew what I was looking for in the model so not too bad. This tool and your tutorial will make it a doddle ! Very well done Sir ! ! !
You are a legend - a freaking god amongst men! I never thought i should see a Inventor video of this calibre and awesomeness. Im not in need of any more tips atm, but im gonna watch your videos anyway! You just got a f***ing subscriber!
Great tool to add to any cad software as modeling bolts can be a pain in the rear,never thought of using the transitional constraint with it..nice one.cheers!
I used to design specialist bolts for the electrical industry (on Pro-E). I always modeled the threads but it was a ball-ache to do. This is great, especially if you need accurate mass data or want to 3D print working models. Learned a bit about Inventor at the same time.
As an extra tip... This tool creates a separate body for the threads. When you create drawing details you are going to see the difference so what can be done is to use combine tool in order to keep the bolt as a single body part.
Used it! Had to remove my threaded hole and use the Thread tool in Inventor. Then, use Coolorgange. It did not like that I'd at first used the thread feature under the hole command. Weird. But, searched online for coolorange troubleshooting and it was a known issue that the threads made by the hole command would not work. It is wonder-magical when it works!
This is super useful also if you like 3d print items with thread :) I know, that most of the printers will not work well, but believe me, Form2 can do the job done very well!
Thanks once again, i didn't know about the cross section functionality and i've been frustrated several times for needing something like this and not knowing how to do it.
I use some fasteners that are not in the content center so I download them in a solid works fomat which inventor converts, I break the link and check them in. They are flawlessly modeled complete with threads. The thing to watch out for is that even in smaller assemblies the drawing views take forever to update and can crash causing loss of work. Then when I update properties on my largest assemblies the waiting time massively increased. The drawings do look better though.
Haha here comes another subscriber :) Excellent presentations!!! If I did not have ears I would be grinning around my head :D When I grow up... nah, I don't think so. You're way too god. Oops missed one "o" ;)
I dont know why but the treadmodeler is not showing on my ribbon. installation was complete. If i open the part then tools it do not there any advise ?
Pretty fantastic video. Does modeling threads kill performance on a large assembly? In SolidWorks I would routinely always suppress the modeled thread on downloaded McMaster parts, else the performance suffered.
I love it. But being a drafter/designer for almost 20 years, you better make sure all the others are aware of it in the company. Many will tell you, especially the engineers, that it's a waste of time and most likely will tell you not to use it. That's the harsh reality in this business. Lots of narrow thinking people. What happens if someone else in the office opens your assembly and doesn't have the thread feature downloaded?
Works very well, Inventor 2018 How do i re-arrange the ribbon because the threadmaker icon is in its very own cool-orange tab; is there a way to move the icon into the tools tab and remove the cool orange tab???
hi, it seem like a really cool concept and helpful tool, the only problem, it keeps getting "blocked" in he app manager. i try to unblock it by unchecking it then i exit out then go back it and it is as if nothing changed.
I downloaded this recently and there is a caveat- “this is supported to Inventor 2020 and that is the last version we are going to do” however I am still running 2016 and it does not seem to be available in the menu bar after install. I am wondering if the version I have is too new, but there is not much info on their site.
I am trying to apply to the transitional constraint, but it doesn't allow me to select the edges of the thread and the hole as you did. However, the angular constraint did work. Do you have any idea of what I did wrong? Thank you for the tuto!
I just hand made NPT threading on only 5 PVC components and I wanted to end myself. This will make my job 10,000 times easier. Oh and the bolt turning in the hole was absolutely orgasmic
Lindy Hopper I think it's more because you just can, it definitely isn't a requirement in most normal use cases. Probably useful and more aimed at those folk who want to show external threads in renders, there wouldn't be a lot of point in physically modelling the thread on a bolt and then hiding it in a hole! But it's free and just one of those things where it's like yea, we can do it, so you can now do it if you want to!
Yea this was made a long time ago, they ditched it and now want you to go through some web page thing with cloud processing, no idea what they were thinking
Time for an update mang, its 2019 and we now 3D print lots of stuff so the whole "ya, pictures are good enough, dunno why u would want to do this!!" >> is old ... humans have evolved. Thank you for being ahead and teaching us cool ish for the future which has yet to become. So, Mr wise commander I have a request / update >> of all the millions ways we could add tolerance, which methods would be best ??
Peter Pirz Sounds like a solid plan to me! What aspect of bolted connections, fasteners and holes would you like to see? Just how to use them in general or something more specific?
CloudCAD Ltd Just how to use in general, create some holes In multiple parts and bolt them together, and maybe how to set multiple fasteners into multiple holes at once.
I dont know why but the treadmodeler is not showing on my ribbon. installation was complete. If i open the part then tools it is not there nor in its own coolorange tab. Any advise ?
Hi ;) i need some help... i can't see thread option in modelling tools, i've tried to find it but couldn't. I have inventor professional 2015 student edition. What should i do to get thread option?
Just downloaded it and (presumably) installed it in Inventor 2021. Twice. Won't show up in the Tools ribbon. And I am in the part model - not an assembly. Crap!
Very nice video thank you.you select very fine music on the background of your videos, can you mention the name of music with your video, some cannot be Shazamed :-)
The music isn't actually a 'song' as such, it's the video game music from World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria. I can't remember which scene it's from but if you search for WoW music you'll find it all :)
This plugin seems to have great potential while using Inventor Pro 2016. The only problem is that it doesn't do NPT threads?! I can select either the NPT or NPT for PVC Pipe and Fitting from the Thread tool drop down, then attempt to use coolOrange only to have the error "Threaded face surface type is not cone surface but it is applied with tapered thread. Thread Modeler cannot modelize this thread". In reviews on the appstore download site, this concern was brought up by someone in June, 2015 in where a developer responded that in version "16.0.31.0 NPT threads are supported". Since we're now looking at the latest version (16.0.39.0) has this feature been removed? That seems counter productive. Is there an equivalent pipe type that matches NPT that would be recognized? ISO, etc... asking here because I haven't received help from coolOrange devs on this. Thanks.
I found that when doing an NPT thread you must have a hole or rod with 1.7899 deg of taper (NPT taper angle) then place the thread, then use the thread modeler

I just have to say something. This is amazing. I was kinda struggling for a minute, but, hey, guess what? theres you! Awesome. Thanks
You are a legend - a freaking god amongst men! I never thought i should see a Inventor video of this calibre and awesomeness. Im not in need of any more tips atm, but im gonna watch your videos anyway! You just got a f***ing subscriber!
Where have you been man I've been doing this for nearly 3 years now! Haha thanks and welcome :)
I have no freaking idea! But I'm here now bro, I'm here now! :D
Great tool to add to any cad software as modeling bolts can be a pain in the rear,never thought of using the transitional constraint with it..nice one.cheers!
FYI if you do a threaded hole be sure the ID of the hole you make before adding the thread is the OD of the thread size, not the drill size.
I used to design specialist bolts for the electrical industry (on Pro-E). I always modeled the threads but it was a ball-ache to do. This is great, especially if you need accurate mass data or want to 3D print working models.
Learned a bit about Inventor at the same time.

11:16 I came 5 times
It's very useful for 3D printing. I recently made a part with a M32x2 thread and it came out my printer perfect.
Used it! Had to remove my threaded hole and use the Thread tool in Inventor. Then, use Coolorgange. It did not like that I'd at first used the thread feature under the hole command. Weird. But, searched online for coolorange troubleshooting and it was a known issue that the threads made by the hole command would not work. It is wonder-magical when it works!
STUNNING!
You are the 'MAN' of Inventor! I love your videos.
This video was actually entertaining :D I enjoyed listening to you
I really would like to see one of the live streams to be about advanced constrains, joints and such.
You can do FEM with it. That is a real use of that thing.
Yea and add 2 hours of solve time to every screw lol
This tool is great! Now I can use it to have treads in my 3d prints.
3 years later i got a resin 3d printer and i will try it as well. :)
thank you very much sir for this excellent tutorial. You really made a difference!
You cover every topic I search about Inventor. +1 subscriber. Thanks for the amazing job!

you are so a good teacher , very very nice
You are frickin awesome and your frickin awesome tutorials are making me frickin awesome!! Kudos my friend :)
I love it, thanks..
This video with this music, one word: epic. :D This feature isn't so useful I think but it looks cool. Thanks for the video!
Useful as usual. Love your films.
I like your style. I've recently d/l this app, but this tutorial is so informative I've subbed your channel :)
Instant subscription!
You are AMAZING MAN!!! Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge! This literally just made my day ;)
Excellent explanation and presentation , thanks for uploading.
Awesome video
CoolOrange threadModeler has only 2 standard types of thread (1. BSW Template and 2. ISO Template).
What about other standard threads?
I love you videos
That music when the bolt turned..
Outstanding!!!
learned a lot from you and was entertained a lot! thank you for sharing!
Haha here comes another subscriber :) Excellent presentations!!! If I did not have ears I would be grinning around my head :D When I grow up... nah, I don't think so. You're way too god. Oops missed one "o" ;)
Very cool!
Outstanding
Legendary... just legendary
That was really cool and I learned so much from your videos.
flipping awesome!
Cool! Thanks mate
Totally awesome video - Thanks
Grateful for the tip.
What happens in the drawing environment?
Does the software recognize that the hole is a thread?
I dont know why but the treadmodeler is not showing on my ribbon. installation was complete. If i open the part then tools it do not there any advise ?
same problem
The thread modeler is now residing in its own "coolOrange" tab
thank you!!
Pretty fantastic video. Does modeling threads kill performance on a large assembly? In SolidWorks I would routinely always suppress the modeled thread on downloaded McMaster parts, else the performance suffered.
that was so dope!!!!
Brilliant just save an age sweeping metric profiles down a spiral to 3D print threads
Great Video and Tips .. Thank You
Beutyyyyyyyyyyfull
Cool !!! One question will it stop when the head touches the plate or do you have to constrain the bottom of the head to the top of the plate?
thank you bro
that was awesome
youre amazing , i enjoyed the video
that screw in the thumbnail....my eyes hurt...:D

Thanks, was really helpful!
This guys hilarious
Thanks, this is what I'm looking for
Works very well, Inventor 2018
How do i re-arrange the ribbon because the threadmaker icon is in its very own cool-orange tab; is there a way to move the icon into the tools tab and remove the cool orange tab???
Let me know if you figure out how to move the icon into other tabs, bit annoying but a great tool.
Thanks man !!

satisfying video
If using this method and creating line drawings, will the inventor DWG still show the thread data if using the "hole" call-out?
Thank you so much
super
Great video, I always teach my students how to draw true threads just so they understand the process, formulas etc, but with this why?
Lindy Hopper I think it's more because you just can, it definitely isn't a requirement in most normal use cases. Probably useful and more aimed at those folk who want to show external threads in renders, there wouldn't be a lot of point in physically modelling the thread on a bolt and then hiding it in a hole! But it's free and just one of those things where it's like yea, we can do it, so you can now do it if you want to!
It's extremely useful if you want to 3D print a thread...
Hi, thanks for the video!
Is it possible to add a chamfer to a bolt after using the thread modeler?
Too bad this tool is not available for the later versions of Inventor. So, now it's back to pretending I have a lathe.
Yea this was made a long time ago, they ditched it and now want you to go through some web page thing with cloud processing, no idea what they were thinking
wow
i like background music
Time for an update mang, its 2019 and we now 3D print lots of stuff so the whole "ya, pictures are good enough, dunno why u would want to do this!!" >> is old ... humans have evolved. Thank you for being ahead and teaching us cool ish for the future which has yet to become.

Excellent videos, how about something on bolted connections and fasteners and holes
Peter Pirz Sounds like a solid plan to me! What aspect of bolted connections, fasteners and holes would you like to see? Just how to use them in general or something more specific?
CloudCAD Ltd Just how to use in general, create some holes In multiple parts and bolt them together, and maybe how to set multiple fasteners into multiple holes at once.
TFI CAD Tips You can also use Threads Modeling, the question says Peter Priz?
Grate, Thanx
bruh amazing vid but even more, Wrath of the litch king login screen music?
I have installed it, but still do not see it anywhere, even after searching for it in the Inventor search bar. Any ideas of what I can do?
I some times get this error "Failed to create coil feature... Try with a bigger Pitch Offset value"
Can you help?
I dont know why but the treadmodeler is not showing on my ribbon. installation was complete. If i open the part then tools it is not there nor in its own coolorange tab. Any advise ?
I cant find this button in 2022 version... can you explain me how to find it? is that an add on?thanks
The tool worked great until Inventor 2921 UPDATED.
i think its Robson Green
+xP0LTERGIESTx Nah its Ant or Dec

how to annotate this thread in drawing for machine operator, I tried but wont let me to annotate!?
Your voice sounds familiar... Did you ever play EVE Online?
+discord2000 Nope soz, I've played far too much world of warcraft in my life but never been on EVE
i have inventor 2016 installed and activate in my pc but after threading i not found threads modeler option any one guide me plzz
