Re: Vertex on revolve axis
Although technically not self intersecting. It's kind like asking a computer or calculator to divide by zero. Error

Re: Should I split my questions, Stack Overflow style?
I post the vast majority of my questions or observations in General. It's frustrating when people don't search first for answers, but it's also frustrating when people reply to 5 year old threads which are no longer relevant because things change and improve every 3 weeks. Having topics change radically during the course of a thread is weird, but follow-ups seem perfectly fine.

Re: What am I missing to fully constrain this sketch
Two things.
- This is a common issue. When you do a circular sketch pattern, the center of that pattern won't be constrained to the center of the seed instance. So, yank on your sketch until you see the center move. Then make it coincident with the origin.
- You need a dimension to position everything around the circle. Like the 16 degree angle I added.
Re: First sketch, only 1 square and still not defined
@jules_nijst You won't regret watching some of those Learning Pathway videos. It will save you tons of time.
Re: How to make a cube?
If you are sketching a "simple detail", why wouldn't you just sketch it directly in Onshape though?
Should I split my questions, Stack Overflow style?
(sorry if this is not the right category, I did not find anything more "meta")
When I have a question, I am usually looking for a general answer (except if the question is very specific to a small problem in a model) and then try to ask it as completely as possible.
Having used SO for many years (BTW it is a relief to see this Onshape community being so kind to beginners), I have the reflex to split all my questions into self-contained pieces. I am wondering if this is not too much, though.
As an example, I asked a question and had a follow-up one. I almost added it to the existing one (being a "natural" continuation) but ended up creating a new one.
On the one hand, this leads to multiplication, on the other one — someone's search will have more chances to hit the title.
What is the convention in this forum?

Re: Vertex on revolve axis
Bingo. That point results in non-manifold geometry, which the Parasolid kernel can't handle. There's a vertex which is both inside and outside at the same time, which isn't allowed.
