Re: Curve Pattern - feature pattern including full part
Unfortunately the curve pattern only allows normal or tangent. I've made an over lap to compensate. Also because of the tightening curve the teeth are getting closer together.
This looks better but if it's supposed an actual gear tooth wellll… keep working on the tooth sketch.
3DConnexion SpaceNavigator on MacOS
(On a PC with Windows and Solidworks it always loses focus which is very frustrating.)
It really seems like 3DConnexion barely manages to keep things running. Their forums don't seem to get a lot of support, and this driver is still in Beta for MacOS Big Sur which has been out for quite a while.

Re: how can i bend object?
Roman, try a different approach:
Break down the geometry to simple logical steps. This is a rotational part with 4 patterned features on it. Try creating the "Blue Object" as a partially rotated object, and it'll go easy! :0)
Re: Curve Pattern - feature pattern including full part
I got the tooth pattern working sort of. but not able to get position correct. Notice the drift as it approaches the center due to the curve tightening up.
Re: What to do when loft prevents shelling?
Thanks for the tips!
The voids created by lofting were the root problem, once I saw how S1mon had selected them I was able to do the same and create a reasonable facsimile of the original part with my original 1.25mm shell size.

Re: Fixing Broken Part Through FeatureScript
Oh silly me, I've been using Onshape for a year and never even realized that was a feature. Thanks!
Re: What to do when loft prevents shelling?
I neglected to mention that while I was looking up similar topics, I tried setting the shell to 0.01mm (the smallest possible) yet it still failed. Thank you for the suggestion though.
