Tapered square thread
 
What would be the best way to make a tapered square thread?

What I mean is a square section thread that is formed on the outside of a cone. (Plus the matching thread - on the inside of a cone - i.e., male and female threads).

Thanks, in advanceā€¦..

I would create a curve that follows the path of the cone and then make a poly cube and taper it to the profile of the thread. You can then extrude that shape along the curve using the "use curve" in the poly extrude option box.

Many thanks for the solution - ckyuk, much appreciated.
