Re: Looking for Beta Testers – Try Out OnDisplay!

Aaaand…. yet another update!

We finally got rid of a lurking bug that showed up only with big models. This was a nasty one.
We made scaling models accept a larger range (from 1/10 to 10) and as models scale, their bases remain grounded on the floor plane.
Improved performance!
Some more fixes here and there, some colors, better positioning of the camera, etc.

See short video!

We're now looking into composite parts, probably the last nut to crack before we go live...

Thanks!

Re: Looking for Beta Testers – Try Out OnDisplay!

Hi all,

One more update (v0.1.3 Beta) is live, and it's pretty big :-). In this new version:

We load colors from Onshape (at last!)
Ground plane can be added or removed, and the model is located on it precisely
New, improved automatic calculation of explosion directions, keeping the largest part in the model fixed
Selected objects remain selected after you assign colors or materials
... and a lot more!

This 1 minute video explains!

We're still working on these two items, but we hope to crack them very soon:

Loading parts from linked documents
Loading composite parts

Thank you, and stay tuned!

Re: Why can't we fill in Variables into dimension fields, while drawing a sketch?

@robert_scott_robert_scott_jr_ That kind of 'workaround' isn't what I'd call a professional approach. Yes, I've done it this way, too.

But I think, Onshape should change this glitch.

Re: Badges-Maxxing on the onshape forums

Here are some you should be able to get in one day if your really going for it.

If you do get 5 in one day, you will get another one called Combo breaker. You already have your first comment, so you have less than 24 hours to get the rest of these if you are going to obtain the legendary combo breaker.
