Re: Fun times with the Loft feature...
You needed more points and/or line segments. You had 8, but what I did requires 12. This was so I could map the corners to the arc midpoints. I didn't have to match vertices. I think Onshape already picks the path of least resistance (shortest point-to-point mapping), so vertex matching wasn't necessary. Similarly, the order in which you create the points doesn't seem to matter. Feel free to click the link above and make a copy of the part studio. That way you can poke around.

Re: Fun times with the Loft feature...
Is this closer to what you're trying to do? I'm not sure what your intent is.

Re: Create plane using mate connector?
@tom_auger
FYI our approach to this will be to allow split to take mate connectors, rather than having to make a plane from a mate connector, and then having to use that plane.

Re: mass propertie on drawing
only for parts (not assemblies)
if you are a pro account you can create a custom property called whatever you want, then I have a custom feature I can give you that will replace the built-in material selection in Onshape.
That will calculate and set the mass to the part. From there you can call that directly on the drawing.
assemblies do not support featurescript, so you will still need to hand edit those weights.
because you are a standard account, you can set the weight to any unused property, probably TITLE1 or something.
here is the feature script. You will need to make a copy and set the materials you need, also you will need to set where you storing the weight on line 532

How can I include a variable value in a sketch text?
I have a spur gear generator. How can I label each gear with the number of teeth in the variable #Teeth?

I may have shed a tear or two of joy when I saw this update.

Re: Projected curves? What is the difference?
Hello @tom_auger
After taking a closer look at your document, it looks like one of the splines is not defined properly.
A projected curve is essentially the intersection of two surfaces. As a test, I extruded the sketches as surfaces to take a closer look at the intersection.
The spline passes in and out of the other profile. Causing the projection to fail.
Spline handle before. Spline handle after being vertically constrained.
Once the spline handle is defined with the vertical constraint, the projected curve is fixed. Hope this helps and good luck!

Re: Why Feature Script opExtrude REMOVE not working and making a NEW part?
More efficient to use opExtrude opBoolean
