Hi,
I use Onsahpe for 2 days and I try to learn. I made an exercice to construct an hinge. I succeded (it seems on I have a good result with RepetierHost slicer. But bad with IdeaMaker.
Please, could you give me an indication to find the solution ? Thank you

It looks like you have 3 different parts in your Onshape model. Be sure to use the "add" merge option to have just one part. It looks like one of your slicers (the one with the blue preview) is automatically applying a union boolean to bring all of your parts together. I recommend checking out some of the tutorials at https://learn.onshape.com/catalog/learning-pathways to get started.Get in touch: contact@alnis.dev | My personal site: https://alnis.dev

A key concept in Onshape is that you can have multiple parts in one part studio which are physically independent, but can share a modeling/feature history. When adding features like revolve, extrude, sweep, etc., they can:
1. Make new parts/solid bodies (new)
2. Add material to existing parts/solids (add)
3. Cut away material from existing parts/solids (subtract)
4. 3D cookie cutter, keeping material where the feature and existing parts are (intersect)
Also, if you're coming from OpenSCAD, I think you will enjoy FeatureScript. It's the language that all of the internal features are specified in (including the basics like extrude and revolve), and you can write your own custom features using it. However, I don't have any real experience with it yet, so I'm not sure where to suggest starting out with it. A good first step would probably be getting used to the UI-based modeling tools.
I hope everything goes well with learning Onshape!
