Hi everyone, I'm a beginner with Onshape and I'm starting to do some simple exercises to learn. Can you tell me how to create a connection between two cylinders (see attached photos)
? Thanks!

Hello Matteo. Assuming the Front plane is in the center of the part, create a sketch on that plane, making use of the sketch's Use tool to capture the relevant surface edges of the shapes to connect the rib to. Draw a diagonal line between the captured lines to create a closed surface. Extrude that shape to the desired thickness, making sure 'symmetrical' is checked off in the extrude dialog. - Scotty
Rib Tool works well.

Make sure the sketch for the rib is down a bit from the top or the edges will run past in this situation and throw an error.
