Re: Methodology for building a part which interfaces to a point cloud?
@kenn_sebesta167 - This link should show methodology, but all dimensions would obviously not be to scale.
Also this is just a surface, and not a sheet-metal part (could be thickened into a solid). I do agree with Scotty on the taking careful measurements and just modeling this part.
Re: new Featurescript: Statics Solver
Cool! :0) Could be helpful in conceptual design.
Re: How can I add text in a Sketch that contains a Caron (e.g., Unicode U+030C (ǒ))?
What font are you using? Arimo, Didact Gothic, Inter, Michromata, MPLUSRounded1c, Noto Sans, Noto Sans Chinese Simplified, Noto Sans Chinese Traditional, Noto Sans Japanese, Noto Sans Korean, Noto Serif, Source Sans Pro and Tinos do show ǒ correctly.
[Edited to update the list of fonts that show correct ǒ character]
Re: new Featurescript: Statics Solver
It gives live results as the sketch is changed with config variables
Re: How do I edit a post here?
If you have taken the time to set up an account with that name, I seriously doubt you would listen to any advice given here.
Re: Where are the tutorial videos?
Most of the learning center is free. Certainly enough of it is free to get you started. I would recommend going through that as it's the best organized and most up to date.
If that's too structured, try the official YouTube channel. Just don't waste too much time with random people's videos from 7 years ago. So much changes and the quality is usually questionable.

Re: Kiri Moto and Assemblies not working
I think you ran into our outage this morning. Please try again. Sorry for the hassle.

new Featurescript: Statics Solver
I needed to calculate the force on a cable for a robot, so I decided to do it the hard way, but writing a FS to do it.
Link: Statics Solver
Pick your force locations (where they touch the object, flip the direction as desired. Outputs curves that are named and scaled to the force magnitude..
Can only do up to 3 unknowns, due to math.
Need to add checks for planar, and also make it work for any plane, currently hard-coded for YZ
Re: oploft connections
Using arcs seems to work:
Thank you again for the suggestion.
I won't mark this as answered just yet as I'm hoping we can crack connections!
