Knurled Surfaces

[Anonymous]

I have seen some great examples of knurled knobs out there using Fusion 360. Problem is, I have no idea how they did it. I find myself wanting to do this a lot and I am hoping someone can share their technique. Here is an example of something I need to have a knurled surface. It is threaded all the way through so turning it into the center of a 12 inch (305mm) threaded rod would be made easier with knurled surfaces. The threads are 8mm.

Are you looking just for appearance/texture or fully 3D modeled stuff ?

I made a screencast a while ago in this post, there's a parametric file a couple of posts below you might be able to use.

Thanks again Mark! That's what I was hoping for. Something that User Parameters were defined so the size can change.

Thanks Mark. That went right into my link collection as this comes up frequently.

I'll refer folks to kudos your thread!
