    Thanks for the input and feedback @spikeyxxx

    Yeah, we don’t model threads in engineering models typically either because they are non-value added time for most bolts. You just call out the threads used, but you do typically model where holes go as this is important for the production guidance.

    I’m feeling like I should model the holes but wanted to hear what Kent had to say. I’m going to have a lot of bolts and such for line supports and other minor things. I’m willing to do it but wanted to make sure it was “value added” work for the model.

    Sometimes it is worth getting direction from our headmaster at the Pound.
