New Feature: Attractor Pattern
I'm happy to release Attractor Pattern for use. There are more things I'd like to do with this sometime, but the core functionality is there. Since it's a kind of complex UI, I made a 6-minute video explaining what everything is. Here's an example of one of the many things you could use it for.
I want to thank @maximilian_schommer for his Surface Pattern feature, which I dissected and borrowed from heavily for this feature. Couldn't have done it without that great reference. Also, big thanks to @ilya_baran whose pseudo-random number generator I co-opted for the random pattern function.
If you run into unexpected behavior while using it, please let me know and share a document with an example so I can improve it.
If you check out my code and see any obvious ways to optimize the performance, I'm very open to ideas. Since it's such a heavy feature efficiency is extra important, and I don't know much about shaving milliseconds off of operations.

Re: Hi, How do I select the bottom inside edge to fillet on Exercise: Coffee Cup
Hi MJCJ,
Another option would be to use the `Select Other` command which will allow you to select through faces

While you scroll through the other possible selections, they will highlight indicating what they are.

Re: Extrude remove not possible.
Edit: oops, I didn't see there was an accepted answer already, sorry!
Which part are you trying to add a hole to? I'm not sure if I found the right thing, but it looks like you have three identical parts in the same spot, so your screenshot might be of a hole through one part but with the other parts still present:
In any case, if you're just starting out, I strongly recommend doing some of the tutorials at learn.onshape.com before you jump into bigger projects:

Re: Extrude remove not possible.
You may have two parts there. Try hiding the orange part.
And sharing public doc as @alnis_smidchens mentioned is best for getting specific answers.

I think you nailed it there.bruce_williams said:You may have two parts there. Try hiding the orange part.

Re: crazy Attractor Pattern feature coming soon, had to share
This is excellent, Evan! I'm evaluating Onshape for my needs a second time, and am finding it almost perfect - except for my need for this kind of attractor-driven patterning. I'd love to move away from the Rhino+Grasshopper combo for these kinds of projects:
Is this something your FeatureScript could do?
