From Sketchup to Onshape

vlad_fi

I am moving from SketchUp to Onshape. SketchUp has a simple tool that allows you to stretch an object by selecting and dragging a surface. Does Onshape have a similar function? And how it works?

There's nothing directly the same as that, however, you could create that face as a loft or boundary surface and change one of the sketches that drives it to have it update. You can also non-uniformly scale objects (transform/scale/non-uniform), but that wouldn't achieve this result.

Move Face has a similar function.

Definately not like sketchup. May I ask why you are moving from sketchup to Onshape?

If you do this workflow often, you may want to make a custom feature for it. Or if you need a more freeform modeling approach try using other software like Phi or Blender.

Like S1mon said, you can achieve this shape you are after in Onslhape with Loft:

If you stick with Onshape, I recommend completing each of the Learning Pathways:
