any "unique sculpting" scripts?
I've been on the lookout for scripts that can add "uniqueness" or "life" to some models.
To explain my question:
This is "wood grain" script (mainly used to "show" that a part is "wood-like") But if you don't use it for its "Intended Purposes" you can make intresting models…
If you know any script that have such possibilities, please write their name 🙏🏼
Re: Extrude depth angle
I think what you need is 'Draft' which is an option in the Extrude Dialogue window. Click the curved arrow to reverse the result

Re: Anyone have an FS that can convert a decimal length to a (reduced) fractional equivalent
Thanks @Caden_Armstrong ,
Ended up writing something with some help from ChatGPT (for the algorithm part)…
Seems to work and looks like this if anyone is wondering:
FeatureScript 2780;
import(path : "onshape/std/common.fs", version : "2780.0");
annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Decimal to Fraction", "Feature Type Description" : "Convert a decimal length to a fraction string" }
export const DectoFrac = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
precondition
{
annotation { "Name" : "Decimal Length" }
isLength(definition.decLength, LENGTH_BOUNDS);
annotation { "Name" : "Smallerst Denom, eg: 16 for 1/16", "UIHint" : UIHint.REMEMBER_PREVIOUS_VALUE }
isInteger(definition.precision, POSITIVE_COUNT_BOUNDS);
annotation { "Name" : "Variable Name" }
definition.varName is string;
}
{
const decValue = definition.decLength/inch;
const precision = definition.precision;
var whole=floor(decValue);
var frac = decValue - whole;
var denominator= precision;
var numerator = round(frac * denominator);
println(whole~" "~numerator~" / "~denominator);
if (numerator !=0)
{
var a=numerator;
var b=denominator;
var r=1;
while (b!=0)
{
r=a%b;
a=b;
b=r;
}
var GCD=a;
println(GCD);
numerator= floor(numerator/GCD);
denominator = floor (denominator/GCD);
}
else
{
denominator=1;
}
if (numerator==denominator)
{
whole += 1;
numerator=0;
}
/*
println(whole);
println(numerator);
println(denominator);
*/
var theString;
if (whole==0)
{
theString=numerator~"/"~denominator;
}
else
{
theString=whole~"-"~numerator~"/"~denominator;
}
setVariable(context, definition.varName, theString);
// Define the function's action
});
Re: Don't know how to delete a post
Well it was a very niche and silly little problem that I overlooked. Thought the maxPathDeviation wasn't working correctly. But I was thinking in 2D when it only analyses things in a very rudimentary way.
