There is no feature in the program that can create a thread. In such a case, it is necessary to create this geometrically using nodes and lines. The program provides an option to create the threads by means of trajectory surfaces. However, you can reach your target relatively quickly when using Copy and Rotate.
Modeling Threaded Rod as 3D Solid
I would like to model a threaded rod as a 3D solid in RFEM. Is it possible?

The direct interface with Revit allows you to update the Revit model according to the changes you have made in RFEM or RSTAB. Depending on the modification, the Revit objects may have to be regenerated (deleting the object and subsequent regeneration). The regeneration is performed on the basis of the RFEM/RSTAB model.
If you want to avoid this regeneration, activate the check box 'Update only materials, thicknesses, and sections'. In this case, only the properties of the objects will be adjusted. Changes different from those in material, surface thickness, and section are, however, not considered in this case.

When exchanging data with Advance Steel using *.smlx files, the interface is detected automatically. This means that *.smlx files can be created even if no version of Advance Steel is installed.

Using the direct interface of RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 with BricsCAD, you can import and export nodes and lines.
Furthermore, you can export different objects (for example, cross-sections) from RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 to separate layers in BricksCAD.
Further features include the export of a deformed FE mesh and dimension lines.

The DSTV product interface for steel structures is available in RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 for transferring pure member structures (including loads, load cases, load combinations, imperfections).
The DSTV interface allows you to exchange data between RFEM 6 / RSTAB 9 and the programs like "Bentley ProStructure 3D", "Tekla Structures", "Bocad", "Intergraph Frameworks", "Graitec Advance Steel", "Cadwork", and many others.
