Re: LiveWorx ???
I don't know, what do y'all think? Would there be interest in having an online meeting? Do you have other ideas?
Re: How to make a slotted hole
With help from my friend Cor van Doorn, I have it like I want. Had some error messages like 'not completely regenerated' and 'undefined' but now understood their origin and solved them. I also understand why all elements have to be constrained to something, that was a new concept I needed some time to grok. Onwards, always onwards!

Re: Projecting a 3D part onto/around another part's face
@S1mon That Deform tool is much like Rhino's Flow Along Surface which can be extremely powerful for certain things. Good to know Parasolid can handle it! c'mon Onshape devs! Christmas is coming 🤞
Re: Projecting a 3D part onto/around another part's face
Plasticity can do some amazing things with "unwrap" and "deform", but it does have some challenges with more complex geometry.
If your main goal is to use an image to create geometry, you might want to do that more directly in Rhino (possibly with Grasshopper) or there's an old windows app (free) that may work.

Re: Boolean Boss Battle
When you see references to self intersecting… this is one example of how that happens. Depending on your geometry OS will not know how to resolve things and calls it self intersecting. In this case its just the inside radius that's an issue. Making the radius bigger resolves it or if it were square cut it wouldn't be an issue. sometimes you might have to apply two radii after an operation like shell or thicken to get your desired result.

Re: Laser joint got funny?
Confirmed. The part design was the problem. Problem solved.
