How to build a Shape with screw threads?

Look at the bottle example

I had asked the same question a while back. https://dev.opencascade.org/content/looking-tcl-example-making-threaded-hole Did not get any replies.

I found this example that might help. If you end up being able to successfully create thread geometry using the draw test harness please share your example. I think the drill bit example is a bit over complicated and that there would be value in a more concise example of modeling only the threads.
