Re: Struggling with extruding a cube
Now that the "native" derive allows multiple instances and placement on mate connectors you don't even need the point derive.
That said a "generic" method for both adding and removing material in one step would be nice. Like the "form tools" but for "regular" geometry.
Re: Struggling with extruding a cube
For this kind of thing it's an easier lift to draw a configurable part studio like you have and use the custom Point Derive feature to greeble your geometry into other documents rather than trying to code up a full custom feature from scratch to accomplish the goal. Sometimes I'll use a method I like to call two-point-derives-in-a-trenchcoat to pseudo make custom features that are easy to model and hard to program.
Re: opLoft Tangent Constraints
Thanks @GregBrown! That fixes it. I think I understand why now. Looks like I made a typo in the code and had it as "profileIndex": 0, but I also set it to 1 at some point as well. So as I understand it, it's because there are 3 profile curves, right?

In a Part, is it possible to reset Top view to any other, ie, Right?
Re: Mirror Problem
The free version doesn't remove any of the modeling tools so that's not the issue.
Going through some of the learning centre basics is a good time investment.
For specific questions use the built-in AI advisor instead of ChatGPT, the whole point is that it shouldn't hallucinate stuff about Onshape!
