Re: flat faced circles
You can change tessellation by typing ( shift+r ) , this gives you high quality rendering. Same thing as MDesign said, just a shortcut
Re: How to get Lofted columns to face same direction
Is there a reason why you wouldn't loft one column and then do a circular pattern? This simplifies your workflow and guarantees that orientation is preserved for each column. You may need to loft the first column as a seperate part (New instead of Add in the Loft Feature), perform a circular pattern on the part and then combine all parts with a boolean.
Re: Mating 2 tubes
I added a mate connector in the part studio associated with axle tube to give alignment for the barrel. A fasten mate in assembly will do the job and can be adjusted.
Re: The Perfect Mouse for CAD
MX Master 3 for me!
It's comfortable, stops my wrist from aching and has just enough buttons to be useful and not get in the way.

Re: Toy coaster track
This worked. Thanks a lot, here is the track with sweep -
Looks ok, but I have a question. I am not able to make the bridging curve to look like the one its bridging. Any help will be appreciated. Otherwise I now have full grasp of this.
This forum is really stellar. Thanks a bunch folks. I will have lot of fun with my 3D printer and Onshape.
Re: How to substract two overlapping shapes
Thanks again for the answers! The Delete face tool did the trick.
Re: Onshapers or Onshapists
It is a matter of consistency and cannot be decided upon as a standalone issue: It all depends on whether Onshape itself is an -ism, an -ion, or an -ology. I always get extra careful if things are - isms or - ions, for this rises the probability level of feet loosing grip to the ground.
So I think we're Onshapologists as long as we merely theoreticise on it, and might even be Onshapicians if we actually practicise it.
Re: Onshapers or Onshapists
Lets not make it a binary problem - here a third one: Onshapionists.

Re: Onshapers or Onshapists
Isn't really something you can choose. Takes a bit longer to reach the title Onshapist.
Re: Toy coaster track
@kohinoor_basu I've led you astray. My apologies. @glen_dewsbury has helped me see the light. Profile direction lock with the front plane as the lock was the solution. I didn't quite have a grasp on how those locks worked yet. They don't come up much in the stuff I work on. Also I see you've been playing with lofts with paths. You don't need a different loft with each segment of the path. that's a lot of extra sketches. just a profile at the start and the end. and pick all the segments in between for the path. Much like the sweep with one profile.
