Re: How can i shell the bottom without making the hole becomes "not hole"
If you just want to have the holes be holes in the wall, rather than enclosed slots, reverse the order of the creation of the holes.
first shell the main box, then cut-extrude the holes afterwards.

Re: Error while importing STEP file
It seems to import as a complete model when I use these import settings

Re: How do you create a sphere?
Yeah, I get it, you have to draw a half circle, then a line under it to revolve around. Thanks!
Re: Connecting to wrong Onshape server
Thanks to all that replied. I checked my router's configuration, and the DNS name server was set to my new ISP default of 202.142.142.142. I did a few searches, and it all comes back to Aussie Broadband (my ISP), registered in Victoria Australia (where I am), but I don't know enough about DNS fto be able to do any more digging. I swapped the name servers over to google (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), and after a reboot, that fixed the problem! My latency is back down to 22ms.
Thanks very much once again for the very speedy and very helpful replies.

Here's an example: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/f46a38416ac2855162ef7bed/w/ee19045eebb62fb7898e525d/e/9060850a21912e090e6916e9
Re: AI Assist for PDF management
I have recently tried to discuss the nonlinearity in specific heat capacity of water with a selection of AI systems. They all failed. Most common cause of failure: Their inability to properly recognize and convert units and reference systems. Some outright lied to me. Confronted with the fact, they produced a truckload of excuses and then lied again. I don't trust them for this kinda work. Instead of using AI to convert inches to centimeters, we should finally do away with the imperial unit system altogether. That'd be much more efficient than burning large amounts of fuel to power large server farms to run unreliable AI to solve completely obsolete problems. Going down that path, we're shooting our foot. Let's use AI to do something meaningful instead.
