Re: Two sketches not fully defined. Where is (are) the problem(s)?
Before this becomes 2LDR, I'm just gonna make a video walk thru..
Sorry for the mumbling, I was doing this by the seat of my pants and was just going through the paces out loud.

Re: drawing - dimension not correct
Onshape already devolving into a cult? Downvotes against rational criticism?
Yup!
Yup!
Re: Can I get a scale value (Real number) from two length values?
If they are always the same units a simple division will do:
Re: Two sketches not fully defined. Where is (are) the problem(s)?
The extrude as surface is the same extrude command you are used to, except you will select "Surface" on the top row.
Now you can only choose lines/arcs and they will create a zero-thickness face (surface).
Thicken is a separate command, which you will choose any face/surface. It will then extrude the face, (errr. make it thicker)
Which creates a solid body.
Always happy when what I say helps

Re: drawing - dimension not correct
I do not think Onshape supports dimensions in oblique views. Note all the dimensions are incorrect in iso view. The section view shows correctly.
Re: Need help how to model this part
My thought is to make everything as a surface and thicken at the end. I split up the part into four separate sections and labeled them in the order I'd make them.
#1 seems consistent cross-sectionally throughout, so I would sketch the cross-section, sketch a path and sweep
#2 is more variable, so I'd want a path (or paths) that would mimic it. To me, the path looks like a rectangle with fillets and a slight up/down section on the sides. I would sketch both and use projected curves to get the paths. I would then use the edges of the model and the path and use either a fill or a loft between them.
#3 pretty simple, looks to be revolved
#4 looks lofted between the top edge of our sweep and the bottom edge of the revolve

Re: Need help how to model this part
@michael_mcclain - it's not dimensionally accurate, but near enough

THANK YOU Aaron from Onshape
I received a call from Aaron from Onshape and he patiently took his time to walk me through my bottlenecks. I can't believe he actually called me, on the phone only 10 minutes after I posted a community help message, and walked me through the various issues I was experiencing using the self paced tutorial. I'm pleasantly surprised and thankful. At least with this tutorial I will no longer be ripping my hair out. Ready to tackle the next one. Thanks again.

Re: Problems with parametric assembly with linear pattern with an instance count of 1
Unfortunately the way you are doing it is the only way to do it right now. Please vote here: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/6159/allow-pattern-feature-count-less-than-2
Re: Beams 2.0 error
This should be fixed now. Please post if you see that behavior again.
