3D Scan Alignment
Hi all, I have a 3D scan of a 1/48 scale model aircraft fuselage - image attached. This is my first time working with a mesh. I want to split it vertically into two halves along its length and reorient it such that the nose is centred on the origin and the centre split faces are on the Right plane with its length running…

Where can I find Engineering drawings to practice?
I have been active in the CAD field for about a year now, and I have been somewhat successful in creating the models I have envisioned. But I have been searching for some industry level engineering drawings online so that I can practice my "drawing reading skills". I found a book that has a lot of the parts, but I have…

Two Manufacturing FeatureScripts: Automatic Laser Overcuts & Extended Slots _ Custom Features
Full disclosure - I'm a fixture / tooling designer, not a software developer. I iterated a custom FS last year using AI. I started with the CNC overcut feature that Hendrik_Kueck posted here in 2023 but for my work flow, what I really wanted was an overcut feature specifically for a Laser. To that end - I wanted the…

Using configurations in variable studios
I was led to a trap. I kind of assumed I could have a variable studio drive several Part Studios and that I could later make configurations of the variable studio. Then I discovered to make configs I have to disable this Insert into all Part Studio feature. For example. I have document I am trying to show the state between…

Two problems when it comes to fitting parts together for my Wing
I am trying to design a wing and currently I have designed an Aileron and I want to fit it into my wing and rotate it using Assembly. My first problem is trying to properly fit the Aileron rod/hinge into the wing with assembly. Since the Wing is tapered, the hole I designed is also tapered to follow the direction of the…

FeatureScript access to complete material properties and the Onshape Material Library
I am a mentor for a FIRST Robotics team, and we recently started exploring Onshape Simulation. One of the first issues we encountered was that parts created by many of our custom FeatureScripts are missing the material data needed for simulation. Our custom features already assign materials such as Aluminum 6061, but…

Separating and customizing mirrored parts
I am trying to make a part to clamp a caliper jaw. It's composed of two halves, each with a pocket for the jaw. They are bolted together to clamp the jaw. First issue, when mirroring, there is no space between the parts. I mirrored off the right side as the front face put them face to face which I didn't want. Second…

Omniverse Publisher App Fails to Import Asset to Isaac Sim
Good Morning y'all, When I saw in a recent post that there would be native support to convert CAD assets from OnShape to Isaac Sim, I was ecstatic, I immediately followed the provided tutorial and was ready to import my design. Unfortunately, the object doesn't seem to render in Isaac Sim. I'm trying to a import a…

Custom Feature: Query Variable+

That being said, there are some more powerful querying techniques which haven't yet…

How can I make a flattenable square-to-round transition?
I see there is a lot on interest on sheet metal facilities, which I share. While it was very easy to draw a duct bend (Public file "Duct bend 200 mm ID 4 Sectors") I have not found a "clean" way to make a transition, which seems a very elementary piece. Individual sides can be produced by lofting and thickening surfaces,…

How can I add seam allowances in duct designs without collisions?
I am designing a bunch of ductwork parts for 24ga sheet metal for hand assembly (not welded), and I can't figure out how to add seam allowances for something like a Pittsburgh seam. In a flat layout, I'd just add 1" on one side of the rip joint for the pitt and 1/4" on the other side of the rip for the flange. But when the…

Is the MateConnector.fs code the only way to do in-context inference in a script?
The only way I've ever been able to use inferred MC's as inputs while modeling in-context is with this exact code, even the requirement of naming the function "mateConnector". Do I need to use this exact code as the basis for these types of scripts, or is there a more universal/normal way to do it? FeatureScript 2960;…

Why did the constraints display change?
When I click 'Show Constraints' all I get is a short stub but no constraint symbols. Now I have to click on the 'show sketch diagnostic tools' and 'constraint manager' which is a genuine pain to navigate.

Loft feature creating weird ridges.

Anybody know a fix?
