Happy New Year! All success and health! The need has ripened to make a voluminous five-pointed star. But somehow I ran into a wall and can’t think of anything. Help!!!

 Up until about 10 minutes ago, it never crossed my mind to go look in the public documents to see if anybody else made a star. The link below shows someone that made one. For this person it would only take four features or four steps to make a double sided star.

Don’t do what I did in the above GIF

Follow the example in the document below

That way is not good because you have to guess the chamfer size. Loft to point is your friend, my friend. 5 features:

Actually your way only needed 4 Features
No need to make a plane

I love this 3D stuff
So many ways to do something

Thanks for the lesson Neil

Dear friends! Thank you very much for the help! I really like modeling in Onshape. I made myself a 3D printer and now with great pleasure I make models for printing. Good luck to everyone!

Wow!  That simple example really shows the power of loft to point.
