Re: I'm looking to convert an STL to NURBS directly, face-for-face
Are you aware of Onshape's mixed modeling capability. tl;dr you don't need to do anything special to cut holes in your mesh. Just use the normal tools. Still blows my mind coming from other 3D tools!
Also, you don't need to boolean them together here. As long as they overlap in your slicer they can be made to print as one part.
Documentation for btTypes
I'm looking for documentation on the various btTypes asked for by the Onshape API. Many of the API guides (such as here and here) are explicit that a given feature requires a specific btType, but the only help I've seen in learning the specific types is to make a feature, and then get a list of features from the API (recommended here and here). This seems slow and difficult to me. Can anyone point out a source describing what each btType is?

Re: CAD Challenges App
Really excited about the potential of the CAD Challenges App! It’s a great way to push your design skills further while staying engaged with the CAD community. Looking forward to seeing more creative challenges and innovations from this app!
Re: polygon line
This kind of thing is kind of laborious, especially to make the design really stable if you change something. I just whipped up this no-frills custom feature for you that can handle it though. Thin Extrude Network. If I find myself using it I'll probably put in more work to make it feel more like the real extrude feature.
