Abstract: A computer-based method is disclosed of creating a visual representation of a threaded feature on a three-dimensional (3D) modelled object in a computer-aided design environment. The method includes constructing a helical curve and start and end circles for a threaded feature in a 3D modelled object, trimming the helical curve to conform to a geometry of the modelled object, identifying a boundary of the trimmed helical curve; and displaying a cosmetic thread to visually represent the threaded feature based on the trimmed helical curve and the identified boundaries of the trimmed helical curve.
