MoGrOv_Metric_Generator: Flawless 3D Threads in SketchUp with a Single Click
MoGrOv_Metric_Generator is an advanced parametric extension for SketchUp, built specifically for engineers, woodworkers, designers, and 3D printing enthusiasts who demand absolute precision without the hassle of manual modeling.
Forget the tedious process of drawing metric hardware from scratch. With MoGrOv_Generator, you can instantly generate standardized screws, nuts, set screws, and threaded rods that perfectly comply with official ISO and DIN standards.
100% "Solid" Geometry, Every Single Time
Unlike standard algorithmic generation that often leaves holes, stray lines, or reversed faces in SketchUp, MoGrOv_Generator utilizes a smart modular segment-stacking method. Every generated component is instantly recognized by SketchUp as a clean, manifold "Solid" group—meaning zero headaches when exporting or modifying your geometry.
Ready for Immediate 3D Printing (Plug & Print)
These models aren't just for show; they are designed for the physical world. The generator natively accounts for crucial "minus" tolerances to compensate for real-world fit and material shrinkage. Your printed screws and nuts will thread together smoothly right off the print bed—no filing, sanding, or tapping required.
Complete Parametric Control
Quickly adjust diameters, lengths, thread pitches, and head styles (including socket heads, hexagon heads, and headless set screws). Create exactly what your drilling jig, template, or mechanical assembly requires.
Lightweight & Optimized Mesh
Get high-precision threads without killing your viewport performance. The generated geometry is highly optimized, keeping your SketchUp models fast and lightweight while ensuring perfectly smooth curves when exported to STL or other CAD formats.
Select your component (screw, nut, set screw, etc.).
Dial in your parameters (choose standard ISO/DIN sizes, adjust lengths, and set your desired tolerances).
Click "Generate" — your 100% solid, print-ready object is instantly placed into your model.
Streamline your technical workflow and guarantee that your 3D-printed hardware fits perfectly, every single time.
