Render Battle #6 - January 2025 - Sebastian.png

@MichaelPascoe Nice challenge!
I tried my best to render coffee in a glass mug.

For anyone wondering how to improve the rendering of a fluid in a glass, you have to make the fluid bigger so it overlaps a bit with the mug. Adding a radius on the edge of the fluid helps to make it look more realistic.

I'm very happy that we finally have forming tools, but I do hope that this limitation is addressed soon. Corner gussets would be nice, but even being able to create a bridge lance at the edge of a sheet is pretty common.

Increase in general bugginess

Has anyone else been experiencing an increase in bugginess in Onshape recently? We're dealing with unusual amounts of random glitches, page reloading, etc.

Re: Fewest features to create a hexagonal surface

Offset surface or Fill are probably the best options. If you want to get creative, Loft works too.

Re: Fewest features to create a hexagonal surface

Just use an Offset surface on the region defined by Sketch 1. No need to extrude or delete anything.

Re: What does this warning mean?

@jared_ikin - I would like to thank you for that explanation. I've had that same problem before, and didn't get a proper answer, but I think you just solved it for me. Maybe I could use a spline, instead of an arc (no center-point) for these special cases.

Cheers

Re: Increase in general bugginess

I don't know if I would say that it is only you. It seems like there are more glitches. The problem is that it's tough to pinpoint the issue with AWS, internet connection, browsers, and individual computer quirks. It is sometimes hard to figure out where the problem is and even harder to reproduce it consistently and submit support tickets. At times, I just shrug and go on.
