Hi community -
New to onshape and just practicing. Can anyone provide direction on how I would create this layered fin part in the pic? I've tried to sweep but can't find a great way to do this pic below.. any help is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Onshape!
There are several approaches you could take. Here is one approach:- Extrude one horizontal fin and one vertical fin.
- Extrude the core, and the main boundary shape.
- Curve pattern the horizontal fins and add them to the core. (Linear pattern will work here too, but I find curve pattern follows the length of an edge nicely)
- Linear pattern the vertical fins and intersect them with the boundary shape.
- Boolean the core with the vertical fins.
