Re: Render Battle #6 - Coffee time โ(Winner gets a real Prize!)
Wow cool! Thanks everyone, I am really excited for the hoodie ๐
That was a close battle. Thanks for the organisation and congrats for the win too @MichaelPascoe
Can everyone spill the coffee beans on how they did their render? There are some awesome techniques we can learn!
Re: Can't extrude main body of dxf
If you use the Profile inspector in the sketch you'll find a number of "Loose ends"
You need to tie up those loose endsโฆ :) i.e. make sure that the vertices are coincident, and in some cases that there is no extra very short segment. Drag on one of the points as highlighted by the Profile inspector, then drag it back to make coincident.
I also found one other intersection between segments that needed making coincident.
You can get this pretty quickly:
Re: How to visualize cut features
Ugh, Onshape's new forum update really messes up the alignment of posts. Sorry for the double post.
You can add an input for the user called "Show split part" which would cut the part in half after all of the other operations. This way they could see inside.
Re: How can I display a grid when I am drawing an sketch?
Re: How can I display a grid when I am drawing an sketch?
Still no grid implemented in OnShape.
Even if some users do not see the need for it, it is a basic feature needed by many other users. But it is notorious that developpers know better than anyone what is good for you.
I do not understand how the sketch-grid-custom-feature thing works. It generates no grid at all.
Re: Custom properties setup in Onshape
Hello S1mon! The "important manufacturing step" is to specified steps I want to be respected to obtain the final part. By example, the finish may be "Powder coated" but some time when I want a primer or sandblast step before powder coating. Another example is about aluminum anodization, often I want a glass bead #120 treatment before anodization to obtain a very uniform finish.
Habitually this is for parts but some weld assemblies can have those properties also.
Of course this information may not need to be a "property" and sometime there are notes in the drawing if more detail is needed. But by experience, the subcontractor may not read carefully those long notes and a short list with the steps needed is appreciated. But I think this is useful in some other way :
- Easy to show those properties into the drawings, better to have it link to the part.
- Easy to send a table to the subcontractor with all the parts and the step needed to obtain rapid quote.
- Easy to filter the parts with those steps.
- Rapid to fill in bulk : because this is a property, I can edit this in BOM. Often a thumbnail is enough to write it down.
Here an example where the steps are shown into my drawings :
At this moment, we are looking to Implement an ERP and we are facing some redondance with "routing" from the ERP standpoint and those properties.
Your Idea to have SOP is a good one!

Technically GPT and Grok don't have Onshape accounts created before the battle started. However the goal is to have fun, so I'll count their votes. ๐
Final vote count:
#1 (1 vote)
#2

#6 (4 votes)
This is a 2 way tie between myself and @sebastian_glanzner!
While we are on a roll of having fun, I'm not going to break the tie with likes. We'll just have to take turns wearing the hoodie. ๐
I'll dm you for your preferred hoodie size, color, and shipping address.

๐๐Congrats @sebastian_glanzner for winning your second render battle! ๐๐
Hey, that makes 2 for both of us now.
.
Thanks to everyone for participating. This was an epic render battle! I look forward to seeing you around.
Re: Need help with this wrap feature.
An Extrude will work fine. Not sure why you thought it needed a wrap?
Re: Problem with Parametric Curve FS
If #R, #E, etc. are just numbers, then don't divide them by mm. Everything inside a trig function needs to be an angle and every parameter needs to be a distance. So, something like #R * cos(#t*radian) * mm would be valid, as long as #R is dimensionless.
