In order to solve my "nose" issue from yesterday and with the hint @chrisb gave me, I tried to sweep a thread along a helix path.
My idea is to utilize a subtractive multi-section sweep along a helix, so that the thread profile changes over the whole thread: The two left and the two right profiles are all the same. They are also "convex" so a "nose" like in the post from yesterday would be avoided.
The two profiles in the middle are also the same. However, they are not convex but would represent the thread profile that I would like to have over the major part of the object.
Although this should work fine in theory, in reality the multi-section sweep is completely messed up .
The sweep tool for some reason chooses not to follow the path in a regular way Please find my example file attached.
Am I doing something wrong?
(How) can this be repaired?
Thank you in advance!
