Procedural Bolt+Nut MeshOp for Modo 16.0-16.1

This procedural MeshOp allows you to create and customize your own bolt! The customization possibilities are very extensive, you can control:

• Grip length
• Radial Segments
• Major/Minor thread radius
• Thread length
• Thread Tip Width
• Thread Base Width
• Bolt Head Width&Height
• Bolt Head Chamfer, Chamfer Profile
• Nut Width&Height, Chamfer, Chamfer Profile
• Control Bolt tip width&length
• Toggle if you want a nut
• Choose between 2 bolt head caps: flat and hemisphere
• Choose whether you want a flange on the bolt head or a nut
• Toggle if you want washer
• Choose whether you want an edge bevel or edge weight to control the edge sharpness
• Control the amount of bevel or weight for almost every important edge group
• Choose whether you want nut to inherit bolt edge bevel/weight values
• Animate Nut spinning on the thread
• Notice that most of the controllers are directly in the viewport - no need to type in values.

See video guide on how to control all these things.

How to use:

For Modo 16.1:

• In the MeshOp tab click "Add Operator"
• in the preset browser add the path where your assembly is located
• Double-click the "BoltAndNut" MeshOp

For Modo 16.0

Unfortunately, there is a bug that doesn't allow you to load the assembly - after loading the assembly transform effectors are broken and so the geometry of the bolt. For this you need to open the scene "BoltAndNut16-0.lxo" create the bolt you want and then copy polygons and paste them in the new scene.
