  • A special entry in the list where these can be added.
  • The selected values are only initial preset values.
For completely customized threads I would as well recommend the helix, because I think it's not worth exposing all angles and radii as well.
I also think it would be a great addition to have diameter and pitch exposed :D . Would it be possible in a future release or is it extremely difficult to implement?

I don't think that it should be too difficult. I had a look at the code and wondered, why there are json tables containing the thread dimensions as well as arrays in the source code which contain the same or similar data.

Can you please write a feature request in the tracker?

Damn, I didn't know this was implemented already, I was still manually linking to github issues
