Module operation 

Hole: drill holes into a planar face at points on it, the way a hole wizard does — simple, counterbored, countersunk or tapped, sized by ISO tables or by hand, or tapped for an NPT pipe thread. Thread: put a thread on a round face, straight or tapered, recorded or modelled.

Structs

Hole

Drills holes into the planar face face at each of points, for the operation H: every hole a solid of revolution around the face’s normal through its point, cut out of the face’s solid in one boolean. The result replaces the solid and is named hole(H).

HoleArgs

Thread

Puts an ISO metric or an NPT pipe thread on the round face face — a shaft’s or a hole’s, the whole wall it is part of, straight for a metric thread and tapered 1:16 for a pipe thread — for the operation T. From one end of the wall, length far or all of it: from its open end — where a shaft ends, where a hole was drilled from — or, if both or neither are open, from one of them; from the other if reversed.

Enums

HoleKind

What a hole is for.

Standard

How a hole is sized: by an ISO metric screw — size M6, and for a clearance hole how loose a fit — by an NPT pipe thread, size 1/2, for a tapped hole, or by hand.
