Using FreeCAD 0.19 Thread Profile workbench v1.69 bug. More details at end.

Have this model generated:

But when I add the same thread on the left the constructed body disappears and only the new threads are visible.

SOLVED (but previous results are confusing and wasn't obvious to me how to fix).

The threads and the rest of the body stay both attached and visible after changing the Orientation mode in the AdditivePipe dialog that appears after the thread profile is swept from Frenet to Fixed.

Have not yet dug into why that fixes the issue but quite happy about the result.

Just before running the sweep:

Changing Orientation mode from Frenet to Fixed.

Successful result:

I think you need frenet mode to get good threads. Also, the blue checkmark means AdditivePipe001 still needs to be recomputed and the red exclamation on Cylinder016 indicates it has a problem (which is probably preventing the additive pipe from recomputing.
