Can we edit previously used features in PartStudio by FeatureScript?

dawid_michalski

Is it possible to get list of features already made in part studio and edit their properties? For example I want to conditionally change beam size from Beam Feature. Can I do that?

Not with FeatureScript. You can get feature IDs of existing geometry but you can't edit its parameters. You can, however, use configurations to drive Beams, for example.

Like Niel said, if you create a configured partstudio then you can create a shape library and plug in your values (or drive these values in realtime with variables)

Here's mine that I shared Beams Library | Key Shafts (onshape.com)

Thanks Neil for quick response. What can I do with those IDs? And what option do I have for conditional configurations? I suppose I cannot edit configurations with FeatureScript? Maybe I don't need FS at all, and just don't yet know what configurations can achieve.

John, also thank You. I'm trying to test your document, and it's kinda complicated Actually Beams is one example where you have possibility to use custom sketch. I was wondering what about miter all option, if it can be changed with FS, but understand now configurations can do that. Will learn them more.

In the GIF below, I edited the Beam feature.
I changed it from a smaller beam to a bigger beam. Is this roughly the type of thing you’re asking about?
