Re: Milk Crate FeatureScript Fundamentals Error
Thank you, both! I was hours in. This was such a relief.
Re: Shell entire object, not just one section
I believe it is only shelling the threaded section because it is a distinct body. If you boolean the two together (or use "Add" instead of "New" on your extrusions), then the shell will be applied to the entire part.
Re: Shell entire object, not just one section
I don't see the issue. just select more faces to shell more bodies.
hit ~ on your keyboard for 'select other'dialogue
If there's an error occuring, please make your part public so we can help and specify what you've tried and want to accomplish more clearly.
in the screenshot, nothing is selected in the Shell 3 feature, so… what's the challenge?
Re: Routing curve & Control point curve - Introduction of two new features for 3D curve creation
It turns out you can't fillet curves from the standard interface so this weekend I a FS called fillet curve. It'll take a trajectory and fillets (bends in this case):
The end result now looks like this:

Re: Improvements to Onshape - December 13th, 2024
@Max_Kluge the February deadline only applies to Render Studio "beta", so anything after Onshape 1.181 (May 17th, 2024) is fine.
Paul beat me to it.
Re: Improvements to Onshape - December 13th, 2024
It is only tabs created with the older Beta version of Render Studio which are being removed. It does not affect non-Beta tabs.
Milk Crate FeatureScript Fundamentals Error
Today I was working through the Advanced Topics / Exercise: Milk Crate Capstone Project and I ran into an error I have been unable to solve.
On Slide 12 of the tutorial it says to commit and test the feature, where you will be able to view the lattice in its correct position. I didn't receive an error, but the part never showed up. I went back through the slides and when I didn't find anything a skipped ahead to see if it would by some chance be resolved. Slide 14 says that there should be an error with the boolean, but my error rather stated the precondition had failed.
As far as I can tell and a quick use of AI confirmed, the code I have is identical to the completed code provided at the end of the exercise with the exception of my personal notes and the FeatureScript versions being different (example is 1717 and my code is at 2522). I tried changing the completed code example to version 2522 and the same error popped up there. Has something drastically changed since this tutorial was made that I am missing?
On a related note, is importDerived the best/only way to reference another part studio in FS? I have also seen the instantiate function but haven't found much about it.
Any help is appreciated!

Re: Milk Crate FeatureScript Fundamentals Error
The importDerived feature has changed, you just need to add "newUI":false to your usage of importDerived.
You can read about instantiation here: https://cad.onshape.com/FsDoc/imports.html
If you are doing lots of imports, it will give better performance than using the entire importDerived feature. But the importDerived also does more than just the instantiate does (context merging, variables, sheet metal, etc), so theres pros-cons to each.
Re: Improvements to Onshape - December 13th, 2024
Nice Updates on Render Studio! We were waiting on this since a while now. Well done!
I still wonder why all Render Studios are deleted end of february. Will it make sense to create a custom library before march? I bet they will be deleted, too. Right?
Re: Improvements to Onshape - December 13th, 2024
Very happy with the directional end conditions! that'll save a lot of work-around extruded faces.
