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.
Re: Can't figure out how to re-create this feature
I like the idea of revolve cuts and relatively simple enough. Thanks!
Re: Can't figure out how to re-create this feature
Thanks for responding. This is for surfaces only it seems? Tinkered with lofts with my extrusions and got nowhere haha
Re: Is it a good idea to create a nut via a boolean difference?
Well, Jelte is right. But …. ;0)
While it is not the ultimate path to engineering enlightenment, it'll most probably suffice for 3D printing.
Re: Vertex on revolve axis
This shouldn't need to work. Why are you trying to create infinitely thin geometry? What's your overall goal?
Something infinitely thin is not possible to manufacture.
Re: Is it a good idea to create a nut via a boolean difference?
in addition to that: you could boolean and then offset separately with 'move face'.
or boolean cut with an offset and just 'move face' one of those back/further.
Re: Is it a good idea to create a nut via a boolean difference?
There are 2 considerations here:
- you might want to control the gaps on top/bottom of the thread diameters separately from the gaps on the side faces.
- you will need to make sure that on the mid diam the width of the bolt and nut threads is equal - this will maximize the load capacity
So all in all just subtraction with offset might not be good enough because of the lack of control
