How to avoid one part, penetrating another part in assembly in onshape

martin_olesenmartin_olesen Member Posts: 20 ✭✭

Hello, I have made a flat surface plate in onshape, and an another part also, but i would like the surface plate to be "hard" so that the orter part penetrate it in assembly, and "stick out" on the other side, is there a way to do this?
I have attached a screenshot where the plate is shown, with the other part sticking through the plate?

    Create all parts in the same Part Studio. Make the gray part extrude "up to face." Or Split the gray part after the extrude.

    Thank you Matt, actually i would have liked if i could do it in assembly instead where i can move different parts around, but that is not possible, right?

    You could create the two parts in separate Part Studios, bring them into the assembly, then edit the camera cover "in context." Create the Split while editing in context. Then, you could move the part around in the assembly and update the context.
