Creating an opposite or relief piece
Hello Everyone,
I am relatively new to Onshape.
I'd like to create a two sided "mold" (so to speak) that when I press them together there would be a gap in-between. I hope I am explaining it correctly.
As an example, the bottom of the mold would have a raised pattern - and the top would be the opposite of that pattern, but account for a certain space in-between - kind of like embossing a piece of metal.

Is there a tool that can make an opposite piece with "x" amount of clearance. Any help would be great, Thanks in advance!

You can model your part and then "subtract" it from the mold and specify offsets.
