Re: How to check why a regeneration failed?

Going by your solution that indeed means one small face somewhere was not selected like the chamfer, or the end face of the sweep.
box selecting is generally recommended indeed.

you got that already.
i don't believe there's more information available elsewhere than the error you mentioned.

If you change a lot (fillets etc) on such a boss upstream, you'll have to reselect the faces all the time for the pattern to keep working. this may be cumbersome. a part pattern or my custom 'regional pattern' would work better then.

How to check why a regeneration failed?

Following the advice of @jelte_steur814 in a previous question, I tried to create a face linear pattern. It almost works - almost because the resulting element is red and there is a "not regenerated properly" error message.

My guess is that I missed a face to make the new piece whole — is there a way to get more information about the "why" of the message? ("regeneration failed because the object is not whole, the face XXX is missing" ← the last part is too much, but any kind of information would be helpful)

There are already many similar questions so I guess that the answer is "you need to click-n-try" but maybe not?

Specifically in my case (https://cad.onshape.com/documents/d7aebcbf751ea63aa06fa480/w/d496255ea19f9425bb0ebe6c/e/1fe3d10623afa6ca25027db7?renderMode=0&uiState=675afaaf89db9f7b40a035a8) the image was

Re: Trying to make open irregular container

yeah: like robert said: use extrude/thin option.

or extrude the solid, and use shell afterwards. no need for offsetting wall in sketches. that works, but it's not vey flexible or easy.

Re: Surface Laptop 7 GPU Advice?

Hi, just reporting back in case anyone else is considering the same thing. I did end up buying the Surface Laptop 7 and it runs Onshape really well! (Also all-around a great experience with the machine so far) No actual issues with the integrated graphics. PeteYodis—thank you for the advice, trying it in a store really helped.
