Re: Round is multihexagon, how to change
Render studio also allows specific tessellation settings on a part or subassembly basis. Right mouse click and choose Tessellation from the context menu.
Re: Improvements to Onshape - January 10th, 2025
There have been hints since V2455, since formed tools need to be handled in patterns etc.
registerSheetMetalFormedTools.fs has existed since then.
Also noticed that acorns have made a comeback…
Re: Rotation of a part around the center of mass.
Why? What are you trying to do? Why comment that on this thread?
Perhaps try the learning center and/or ask some questions. The transform tool could be improved, but I'm guessing that whatever issue you're complaining about has a much more simple solution. A lot of people coming from other CAD systems or rendering tools try to transform things over and over instead of building them the right way parametrically.

Re: I want to help make custom feature icons
Finding features is currently pretty difficult. You can search public documents in your Onshape home page, then set the filter to published featurescripts, or you can use the custom feature search feature like jelte mentioned. Evan's naming trick is very valuable too. These techniques still feel like searching in an infinite black void just hoping to hit a good keyword spelled exactly the same way as the featurescript.
Here is a list of the scattered places to find features:
There are quite a few nice sites with great feature lists, but none are easily searchable all in one place. The only way this will happen is if Onshape introduces a Feature Marketplace or Feature Store so that there is a large unmistakable button like the app store. Perhaps it could be an extension of the app store.

Re: Broken Sketch?
Why is that all one sketch vs a portion of it? Then duplicate parts created. You will get better performance by simplifying the sketch and then duplicating the solid geometry.

Re: Is it possible to search the public documents by Owner?
> Add criteria - Free, Standard, and Education account users can use this field to search for default fields including Owner and Creator.
But, when I try, those fields are not there. There is a "DrawnBy", but that doesn't seem to refer to the owner.
Is this a feature limited to Premium or so? Or is that page just incorrect, and this still doesn't actually work?

Re: Is it possible to search the public documents by Owner?
You can do an advanced search by Vendor, however the trick is to find where you can set Vendor on a document. The only way I've found so far is to set Vendor on an 'Assembly', you can't set Vendor on the properties of a Part Studio.
Re: Adjusting fins on the diffuser part
Try using loft feature with guides and three cross-sections (Start, middle and end) this will solve your issue if i understand your issue correctly 😅
(Also, your link is not working)
