The comment about document settings changing the thread type was an eye opener! I commented too soon, the fillet on the edge of threads was just as good!
Thanks for all your tips. I never would have found the document settings one by myself. This is why I look forward to your posts each Friday. Thanks so much
Thanks Brad, when I have a design where the hole and the screw are 3D printed, I use offset face on the hole's thread surfaces to open the engagement just a touch, I think I offset by 0.15mm.
one other tip.. it you chamfer or round over the end to make lead in/starting the threads into the nut or threaded hole. you leave the threads cosmetic, then chamfer the top edge, this will chamfer the top edge of the shank/stud of the screw/bolt.. then go back and change to modeled threads and you get a nice lead in. if you try to chamfer/round over after modeled threads you'll get alll the threads chamfered/rounded over like you showed... :)

Glad you find them useful.

Yes, this is what I typically do also. I've noticed some slicers have even added in functionality to "widen holes" automatically now. Pretty cool.

I didn't know of the the setting, great one.
(3:35) You made me think about my wife just then. Thanks for the head's up, Brad.
ha-ha. smirk...
The Document setting would be very useful as well if you want to render with Modeled Threads, but then go back to Cosmetic ones for doing design work.
Yep! Good use case!
Great job Brad. What if you were to thread mill those? Will Fusion see them when you go to CAM them?
Thanks a lot Brad. HANWE
How can I take a model from Fusion and use it in a graphics program? I tried this in Corel Draw, but it only shows an outline.
Does Autodesk solved the problem with chamfers applied to threads now when applying to modeled threads?
I wish this could be fixed
Just don't try to model pipe threads. Good Video!
