Project sketch onto surface feature

janos_horvathjanos_horvath Member Posts: 25 ✭✭✭
I'd like to request a handy tool to project sketches onto surfaces.
I know Onshape is not focusing on hardcore surfacing but in my opinion it is quite basic and a lot of users would love to be able to do more with projection.

Thank you in advance! :)

    @janos_horvath We are focusing on adding tools to our surfacing and you can do some of this today with split face.  Are you wanting the end result to be a curve?

    I am going to move this out of the improvements and over to product feedback.

    We actually have an Improvement Requests section of this forum specifically for sharing ideas.  You can submit them there (one idea per post please) and other users will read them and add votes to them if they agree that your idea should be implemented.

    Oops, I see that this post was originally there and then got moved, so you must know about that section already!  That is the best way to get in touch with us about this kind of stuff.

    I have made a split with a logo onto a surface and all looks good, but i cant figure out how to extrude it afterwards, is it possible or are the split function wrong tool for adding a logo on an uneven surface?

    @kristian_ljungberg Try thickening the face rather than extruding the face.

    @jed_yeiser is there a good rule of thumb on when to use which method?
