Tightening a screw scenario

[AlyssaK]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to simulate the scenario of tightening a screw. I have been using a pretty basic wrl file which looks like a pole with a flat edge. Would anyone have a wrl file they could upload to look more realistic? I would like to see the actual thread of the screw.

I've also been having a little bit of trouble with the co-ordinates. I would like the screw to be positioned with the thread of the screw closest to the desired location and the top flat edge in the users view. (As if i was performing this operation myself). I've been able to get the top of the screw touching the location but on an angle.

Are there any examples of this scenario that i have overlooked?

Thanks! Alyssa.
