Re: How to configure tapped holes ?

You can configure the individual values.

When I do this and want to adjust the hole depth, the feature no longer builds.

Align Views to each other

Is there a way to align views to each other either vertically or horizontally via a point or an edge?

combined state of assembly

I am looking for a combined state that includes " named positions" ; "named views" ; display states" ; "exploaded view". I would consider one tool for all such functionalities.
Thanks

Re: help turning imported STL surface mesh into solid part

Thanks for the help, I have started to try and do it myself and failed.
Normally I use Delftship and Bentley to calculate the ships, it is mainly a calculation program for normal sized ships. So the triangles are not optimal for small curves. So not optimal for this ship, but I am comfortable with it.
The shape is not optimised for stability in waves, so it does not move that much. In the real world, the Ulstein X bows are the inspiration. They look fancy and have a lot of advantages in theory, if that is the case I want to test this model after 3D printing in the towing channel at the university.

Re: Improvements to Onshape - March 13th, 2025

The rendered cosmetic threads are a nice addition but unfortunately the specs of Standard, Size, and Pitch are not configurable. Therefore, the ThreadLab FS is still a winner for configured custom hardware. Improvement request incoming. 😅

Re: help turning imported STL surface mesh into solid part

With the latest update that came out yesterday, you now have a new tool to create surfaces constrained by points. I believe this might be of great value when building clean surfaces on your imported STL model.

I just gave it a try, mostly out of curiosity for the new tool. I derived your hull model into a new document to enable the new constrained surface tool, for existing documents aren't yet updated.

It actually works, surprsingly well, also on your file, but to be brutally honest: Your STL model is of such evil quality that I wouldn't build a single thing upon it, but rather rebuild it from proper sections and guides. Because I'm curious: What was the name of that ship design application you used to create the hull and what was the objective which lead to this strange potato shaped hull?
