Re: Polar 3D plot of simulation results
Greetings Kristian,
In short, no, not at this time. I understand your request and agree that it would be useful. However, at this point we are focused on making simulation for tubes and other thin-walled structures more performant overall, after which we can turn our eye toward post-processing enhancements.
Thank you very much for your request; I will be sure to keep this in mind moving forward.
Best Regards,
Chris
Re: I can't make plane from circle
The use case is having the convenience of a named plane to do someting on (Sketch, Intersection, Extrude-up-to, …). We can have have plane-point planes, why not define the offset by the circle? A circle would count as a valid point or even plane, IMO. That said, I'd go with the mate connector in the circle center.
Re: Merging surfaces
Definitely finicky. A useful way of getting around them (if you need to) is to create a robust query like this:
const transQ = qUnion(evalauteQuery(context, something)); const robustQ = qUnion([transQ, startTracking(context, transQ)]);The union is needed in the second part because tracking queries do not evaluate to their original geometry, so we're unioning together the original geometry with any future geometry. In this way, whether the transient id changes or stays the same, the query will evaluate to what you expect. YMMV, but if you ever use this and it doesn't behave as expected, we're here to help.
In most cases (including this one) the `op` functions do provide a more convenient programmatic interface. The tradeoff is that the full feature may do a lot more than any one underlying operation, so sometimes it's worth it to wrangle an odd set of parameters to get the robust functionality. Some other cases of this are patterns, mirrors, and any time you want to interact with Sheet Metal.
Re: I can't make plane from circle
You can use a mate connector as the plane in this location.
Re: This type of error makes my experience of onshape incredibly frustrating
I know. understood. but its not about what is selected, its about why is it giving the error at all and why does it not give you more info on why it is failing with the way it is selected..

SendCutSend
I saw that SendCutSend is working on plugins for Solidworks and Fusion. I ask them about doing something for Onshape. Maybe we could get an app if some of the rest of y'all would do the same.
Re: What does Onshape have against the numbers 0,4,6,8,9 and the letters A,B,D,O,P,Q and sometimes R
It could have been worded better, but I just submitted the IR below. Looks like it needs to be approved so it may take a while to show up.
Re: constraints inter-sketches
The sketches must be on parallel planes as the first sketch is projected onto the second sketch's plane, so a circle will project as a line (if they are orthogonal).
