Re: Trying to assemble an adjustable lamp
Change that revolute mate to a cylindrical mate, and everything will work.
Re: How to get Lofted columns to face same direction
agree with Jed's approach. much lighter. if the first loft would have this issue though, try playing with the 'connections' within the loft panel…
Re: Keep loading
I had that issue the day before: "Couldn't connect to onshape data center" and nothing happened after I signed in from a client's PC. Is there possibly an instability issue on the remote side?
Re: New Custom Feature: Publish Geometry
All this was btw was you needed to comment out the }); on that bottom line. FS was just throwing a syntax error since those are the closing brace and semi colon belonging to that opDeleteBodies function.
Re: HELP!!!!!!
Try restore to main from start or what ever version you have before the mistaken deletes. Make sure main is selected then right mouse button over previous version to restore to main.
Re: How to apply and deal with versions correctly?
@kees_bijker : versions cost nothing (unlike in legacy cad where it takes space on your disk to have multiple versions), so better to make many andn not use them than have then too few...
in the CAD modeling process, you have certain accomplished states, like: "the basic shape is there, now add details" or "so far this is easy modeling, the next step i'm not sure how it'll work out" or "first 3d printable prototype" or "this part of the design i knew, now I'm going to explore this bit". each of these could warrant a version…
if you already know you're exploring multiple parralel options for a solution, use branches instead.
Re: How to apply and deal with versions correctly?
yes exactly Kees. If i know upfront i'll be weighing my options later, I'll branch because its neater in naming etc to see them in parralel.
If I just paint myself into a corner, i'll version it just in case, revert to an older working version and try again so i'll get multiple successive versions in the main for different attempts. (for single part studio work that is)
