Dome Surface

null_null3941

Hello is it possible to get a simple dome surface function added to the list of new features? 
We use this very often in Solidworks and would find it helpful to have it here in Onshape 

With the click of an icon, you can dome a surface to a controlled height or depth. 
Its a tool we use daily and saves a lot of time.

Thank you.

First time I've ever seen somebody use that feature . You can do something similar with a Fill surface with a guide point (you'll have to sketch the point first).

Hi, i think this FS is doing the job:

Yes, its interesting. We often use it on a complex curve for a button as an example to create shadow lines. 
face fille works but adds a lot of extra steps to what is a simple click in SW

Thanks Rafael, that does kind of work. but a Simple Dome tool would be very handy. We use it all the time and can choose between a simple dome and a tangent dome to all surrounding surfaces.

The Dome feature by Karl should do the trick. It will need to be slightly re-written if you want better curvature.
