Re: Making a beehive
You also might want to take a look at onshape.com/featurescript where you'll find a fill pattern feature or maybe even the hex infill feature.
Re: Note Box Alignment on Drawings
We have planned improvements for note snapping behavior. There are more scenarios to solve for and provide snapping for when you consider multi-line notes and also justification options.
Re: Onshape Graphics
I'm a little conflicted on this topic. How nice a model looks definitely has an impact on how a design is perceived, especially for people detached from the design process, such as managers, customers, sales team, etc. So, I think there is real value in quickly being able to add texture, shading, shadows, and other features to better communicate what the end product will look like.
On the other hand, I think there are many other things that I would place higher in priority. I would rather have more drawings development and refinement of release management before better graphic rendering, since I can use a 3rd party tool if really needed. But, I'll also agree that better graphics would be nice to have sometime down the road.
Re: How do I stretch a panel in a single direction (y) from the when it has been extruded in (z)?
In that case I'd create some planes, split the part, transform the outer parts into place and then extrude between the gaps to join it all back together again.
BTW it would be easier to understand exactly what you're after with a link to the document or a screen grab.
Cheers,
Owen S.
