Re: How to create a pyramid net
The problem here is some pyramid tip points are outside of the projected area of the base square. That will lead to self-intersections in the flat pattern and prevent the use of the shee metal toolset. There will be single pyramids or maybe small groups of pyramids at places.
Re: what is the best alternative to boolean controlled geometry in master sketch
Here is an option for you to look over and decide if it's something you would like to try. Window parts are derived into framing and adjusted there. Don't fallow the framing methods I know that are not exactly kosher.
Some of the trimmed studs are problematic for making a cut list. Maybe someone can make a suggestion. I'm too tired tonight to continue.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - October 31st, 2025
Lots of nice updates. The iOS one is actually pretty huge. The UX of the previous toolbar was so broken, I really couldn't deal with it, but now I can see doing more actual work on an iPad.
