Please try lower versions - 2015 and below.
It can take some time (many months) to update it for newer versions of max.

Great Script, Thank you.

Can you add a realtime preview for it for example simple 6 side cylinder for size of the nut resize by spinner value change.

Thanks for the preview idea. I added it to the to-do list.

Yes, a scripted object with real threads is planned.
